@jhonyy9 where are you getting at with this, i am a bit confused.

jhonyy9 · Answer

check your exercise how you have wrote above firstly - so there is - -7 ---

yes ?

anonymous · Answer

is the answer -5 1/6 because idk what your talking about?

jhonyy9 · Answer

but do you know how you get this result ?

anonymous · Answer

no not really. Can you explain to how?

jhonyy9 · Answer

1
-2--- = (-(2*6 +1))/6 = - 13/6
     6
     
       1
- 7---- = ( - (21+1)/3)) = - 22/3
       3 
                                                                                                       1
- 13/6  -  - 22/3 = (- 13 - (-22*2) ) /6= (-13 +44)/6 = 31/6 = 5---
                                                                                                        6
                                                    1
so but than you need getting - 5 ---
                                                     6

so than this mean that there are in front of 7 just one minus not how you have wrote there doubled the minus sign 

ok. ?
