Answer:

The second choice (
x + y)

Explanation:

If x =
-(5)/(6) and y =
(4)/(3), then we can insert those in for
x ×
y.


  • -(5)/(6) ×
    (4)/(3) = ?

To determine if this will have a positive outcome, we don't even need to solve! We know that a negative multiplied by a positive will result in a negative product.

Therefore, this is not the correct answer.

Looking at the second choice,
x + y we can insert our numbers in for
x and
y:


  • -(5)/(6) + (4)/(3) = (1)/(2)

The outcome of the two is a positive, marking it the correct answer.

Even though we already know the answer, we can still check the other choices to be sure.


  • (x)/(y) = (-(5)/(6) )/((4)/(3) ) = -(5)/(8)

The outcome of this is a negative, meaning it is incorrect.

For the last choice, we can once again insert the fractions in for
x and
y:


-(5)/(6) - (4)/(3) =-(13)/(6)

This product is once again a negative, meaning it is incorrect.

Therefore, the second choice is the correct answer.
