Question

7/6 - (-2/9 in simplest form

Answer 1

7/6 - (-2/9)

When multiplying a negative by a negative, you always get a positive, so our new problem looks like this :

7/6 + 2/9

Make 18 the denominator by multiplying 7/6 by 3/3 and 2/9 by 2/2.


`(7)/(6)` +
`(3)/(3)` =
`(21)/(18)`


`(2)/(9)` +
`(2)/(2)` =
`(4)/(18)`

NEW PROBLEM :
`(21)/(18)` +
`(4)/(18)` =
`(25)/(18)`

That simplified is : 1
`(7)/(18)`

:-)

Answer 2

It is a mixed number of 1/7/18
