Answer:
(6)/(7)

Explanation:


(5)/(7)-\left(-(1)/(7)\right)

Once you take off the parenthesis, your sign should change from negative to positive.


(5)/(7)-\left(-(1)/(7)\right)=(5)/(7)+(1)/(7)\\\\(5)/(7)+(1)/(7)

The fractions now both have the same denominator. Thus, we can add the numerators.


(5+1)/(7)\\\\5+1\\\\6=(6)/(7)

Therefore,
(5)/(7)-\left(-(1)/(7)\right)=(6)/(7)
