Answer:

Since it is a double negative, you add the two together. First, you must find the LCD though. Which is 10. So you multiply the left side by 2. This comes out to 18/10 - (-6/10) but since there's two negatives, you add them, so it's 18/10 + 6/10 = 24/10 = 12/5

Explanation:

The answer is 12/5 (top is explaining how I got there.)

Answer:

12/5

Explanation:

9/5 - (-6/10)

Subtracting a negative is like adding

9/5 + 6/10

Simplify 6/10 by dividing the top and bottom by 2

9/5 + 3/5

12/5
