<h3>Solution</h3>
Common difference
<u>Difference of first two</u>
- d = (a -b) - (a + b) = -2b
<u>Difference of second two</u>
<u>Difference of last two</u>
<u>Now comparing d:</u>
- -2b = ab - (a - b)
- ab - a = - 3b
- a(1 - b) = 3b
- a = 3b/(1 - b)
and
- a/b - ab = -2b
- a(1/b - b) = -2b
- a = 2b²/(b² - 1)
<u>Eliminating a:</u>
- 2b²/(b² - 1) = 3b/(1 - b)
- 2b/(b+1) = -3
- 2b = -3b - 3
- 5b = - 3
- b = -3/5
<u>Finding a:</u>
- a = 3b/(1 - b) =
- 3*(-3/5) *1/(1 - (-3/5)) =
- -9/5*5/8 =
- -9/8
<u>So the first term is:</u>
- a + b = -3/5 - 9/8 = -24/40 - 45/40 = - 69/40
<u>Common difference:</u>
<u>The 6th term:</u>
- a₆ = a₁ + 5d =
- -69/40 + 5*6/5 =
- -69/40 + 240/40 =
- 171/40 = 4 11/40

x= morning
y = afternoon
x + y = 10
x=10-y
5x + 6y =57
5(10-y) +6y =57
50-5y +6y =57
y=7
x=10-7 =3
check 3*5 = 15, 7*6 = 42, 42 + 15 = 57

I think that the answer would be 2 if I am right
a) because the denominators are the same add the numerators:
1 1/5 + 3 2/5 = 4 3/5
b) rewrite the fractions to have a common denominator:
1/2 = 3/6
1/3 = 2/6
Now subtract:
4 3/6 - 1 2/6 = 3 1/6
