Clear fractions or decimals, solve, and check. 5/-6 + x= 1/-2 2/-3
\[\frac{5}{-6}+x = \frac{1}{-2} \frac{2}{-3}\] Is this your question?
yes
Hmm... for the right side, not addition / subtraction sign between the 2 fractions?
what you thinking. I been looking at this for the longs time
Hmm.. if there're no signs between the 2 fractions, then it would be multiplication. \[\frac{5}{-6}+x = \frac{1}{-2}\frac{2}{-3}\]\[\frac{5}{-6}+x = \frac{1(2)}{-2(-3)}\]\[\frac{5}{-6}+x = \frac{2}{6}\]\[x = \frac{2}{6}+ \frac{5}{6} = \frac{7}{6}\]
But I don't know why, I think there is a sign between the 2 fractions, like this \[\frac{5}{-6}+x=\frac{1}{-2}+\frac{2}{-3}\]
l look again in the book just to be safe
SURE!!!~
no sign between the 2 fractions
Then, that's it :)
thank you :)
