Answer:


(5)/(3) + (-(7)/(6)) reduced to the simplest form is
(1)/(2)

Explanation:


(5)/(3) + (-(7)/(6))

First, rearrange the fractions so that they have the same denominator. We do this by finding the common multiple of 3 and 6 and multiplying the numerators by the number of times it takes to get to the denominator when multiplying.


(10)/(6)+(- (7)/(6) )

Now, since 7/6 is negative, then it would just be like subtracting 7/6 from 10/6.


(10)/(6) -(7)/(6) = (3)/(6)

Now, all we have to do is reduce the fraction 3/6.


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

So, your final answer would be
(1)/(2)
