\[\frac{5}{-6}+x = \frac{1}{-2} \frac{2}{-3}\]
Is this your question?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (callisto):
Hmm... for the right side, not addition / subtraction sign between the 2 fractions?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what you thinking. I been looking at this for the longs time
OpenStudy (callisto):
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
OpenStudy (callisto):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (callisto):
