Answer:

14/19

Explanation:

Note that there are two " - " signs here. Thus, the end result will be " + "

We move from left to right, obtaining first 10/19 divided by (5/7):

10

----- ÷ (5/7)

19

To divide by (5/7), invert (5/7) and then multiply. We get:

10 7 2(7)

----- * ----- = ------- = 14/19

19 5 19
