Answer:

2 1/3 (simplified)

Explanation:

(1/6 - 1) = -5/6

(1 = 6/6)

(3 - 2/5) = 2 3/5

[3= 18 (3 * 6)]

(1/3 - 1/2) = -1/6

(you can change both of the denominators to 6 by multiplying them both by 3 / 2

So the equation now is

(-5/6)(2 3/5) - (-1/6)

-5/6 * 2 3/5 = 2 1/6 (simplified)

2 1/6 - -1/6 = 2 1/3 (simplified)
