Hello There, today we will solve your problem,

Number 1,

Since we know the outcome to the equation has to
3(10)/(43), we can solve each problem regularly to get the answer

_________________

  1. Solve for the difference


6(5)/(7)-6(2)/(6)\\\\3(8)/(21)

_________________


\huge\blue{\mid{\fbox{\tt{NUMBER\:TWO}}\mid}}

We simply can eliminate this option due to it being addition, when one of the numbers is already bigger than what we want,

_________________


\huge\blue{\mid{\fbox{\tt{NUMBER\:THREE}}\mid}}

  1. Solve for the difference


8\ (8)/(14)-5\ (1)/(3)\\\\3 (5)/(21)

This equation also equals to
3 (10)/(42), so we found our answer!
