Answer:

7/8+(-2/3)

---------------- = 1/3

5/6

Explanation:

7/8+(-2/3)

----------------

5/6

So we have to take it one at a time and apply BODMAS RULE.

Starting with the numerator.

7/8+(-2/3).........

Lests open the bracket

7/8-2/3= (21-16)/24

7/8+2/3= 5/24

So now we have ( 5/24)/(5/6)

Which is equall to =( 5/24)*(6/5)

Which is equall to =1/3
