Question

Perform the operation
(x-y/2)-(x+y/3)

Answer 1

(x-y/2)-(x+y/3) = (x-3y/6)-(x+2y/6)

= x-3y/6-x-2y/6
= y/6

Answer 2

\[\frac{x-y}{2}-\frac{x+y}{3}=\frac{3(x-y)-2(x+y)}{2*3}\]

Answer 3

\[\frac{(3x-3y)-(2x+2y)}{6}=\frac{3x-3y-2x-2y}{6}\]

Answer 4

\[\frac{x-5y}{6}\]

Answer 5

The question is ambiguous as both answers are correct depending on the question
