Answer 1

`(5)/(7)-(-(1)/(7))=(6)/(7)`

Explanation:

To evaluate :

`(5)/(7)-(-(1)/(7))`

Solution:

Two negatives multiply to become a positive.

Thus, we can remove parenthesis by reversing the signs of the fraction by multiplying the negative outside.

⇒
`(5)/(7)+(1)/(7)`

Since the denominators are same for both fractions, so we simply add the numerators.

⇒
`(5+1)/(7)`

⇒
`(6)/(7)` (Answer)
