Answer:

  • 1/5

Solution:

Hi! Let's simplify this using integer operations.

-7/10-(-5/10)

-7/10+5/10

Now, since the denominators match, we can add the numerators.

This operation will give us the answer of:


\implies\sf{-(7)/(10) +(5)/(10)=(-7+5)/(10) =-(2)/(10) =(1)/(5)}

Problem solved! It's been a pleasure helping you.

Given;


-(7)/(10)-(-(5)/(10))

First, we take out the bracket by multiplying the signs, we have;


-(7)/(10)+(5)/(10)

Then, since the denominators are equal, we add the numerators, we have;


\begin{gathered} =(-7+5)/(10) \\ =-(2)/(10) \end{gathered}

Also, the fraction can be simplified or reduced to;


-(2)/(10)=-(1)/(5)
