Answer:

- $\frac{61}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{y}$ = $\frac{5}{6}$ ( cross- multiply )

6x = 5y ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = $\frac{5}{6}$ y

Then

$\frac{5x+6y}{5x-6y}$ ← substitute x = $\frac{5}{6}$ y into the expression

= $\frac{\frac{25}{6}y+6y }{\frac{25}{6}y-6y }$

= $\frac{\frac{61}{6}y }{-\frac{11}{6}y }$

= $\frac{\frac{61}{6} }{-\frac{11}{6} }$

= $\frac{61}{6}$ × - $\frac{6}{11}$

= - $\frac{61}{11}$
