Answer:

it's 5/12 + 1/3

Explanation:

you would multiply the -5/6 by -1/2 to get 5/12 since the negative would cancel out

so 5/12 + 1/3 would be the answer.

Also this question doesn't make any sense since you are supposed to simplify the parentheses first.

-(1)/(2) *(-(5)/(6) )+(-(1)/(2) )*(1)/(3) \\=(5)/(12) -(1)/(6) \\=(5)/(12) -(2)/(12) \\=(3)/(12) \\(1)/(4)
