Answer:
Hi there!
Your answer is;
17/6 OR 2 & 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
(-5+1)/6 - (-8+1)/2
First, simplify in parentheses!
-4/6 - -7/2
Next, change the symbol of 7/2 because two negatives make a positive!
-4/6 +7/2
Next, change the denominators so they both have the same
-4/6 + 7/2
× 3/3
-4/6 + 21/6
Simplify!
17/6
OR
2 & 5/6
Hope this helps
