Question

anonymous · Answer

5 (4/7) - (-3 :5/7)
Alright, so . . .
these already have a common denominator.
Double negatives, come together to create a +
Which would make it 5 &4/7 + -3 & 5/7

anonymous · Answer

You add these together and get 2 & 9/7.
Which becomes 3 & 2/7

anonymous · Answer
