Question

Find (x-y) if X=5/3 y=-1/6

Answer 1

11/6

Explanation:

Use substitution.

x = 5/3

y = -1/6

Sub these values into (x-y):

[(5/3) - (-1/6)]

*Make sure to use brackets when subbing in values especially when there are negative signs or exponents

5/3 + 1/6 ⇒ two negatives become a positive

10/6 + 1/6 ⇒ make a common LCD

= 11/6

Answer 2

Answer: (x - y) = 13/6

Step-by-step explanation: To find the value of (x-y), we need to substitute the given values of x and y and then perform the subtraction.

So,

(x - y) = (5/3 - (-1/6))

We can simplify this expression by first converting the negative fraction to its equivalent positive fraction and then finding the common denominator.

(x - y) = (5/3 + 1/6) = ((10+3)/6) = 13/6

Therefore, (x - y) = 13/6.
