Question

what is 5/18 + (-5/6)?

Answer 1

Find a common denominator.

Answer 2

18

Answer 3

So then make -5/6 so it has a denominator of 18

Answer 4

15/18?

Answer 5

or - 15/18

Answer 6

Right, -15/18. So now we have \[\large \sf \frac{5}{18}+(-\frac{15}{18})\] which is the same as \[\large \sf \frac{5}{18}-\frac{15}{18}\]

Answer 7

welp that's probably why I got it incorrect

Answer 8

Do you understand how to do the rest?

Answer 9

well tbh now that i'm trying to solve it, no

Answer 10

\[\large \sf \frac{5}{18}-\frac{15}{18}=\frac{5-15}{18}\]

Answer 11

10/18?

Answer 12

Close, but that would be negative. Also, you can simplify it now.

Answer 13

So what would you get when you simplify \[\large \sf -\frac{10}{18}\]?

Answer 14

-5/9 right?

Answer 15

Correct, and that would be your final answer (:
