Answer:

-\dfrac{1}{24}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to reduce the expression below to its simplest form

-\dfrac{7}{8}-\left(-\dfrac{5}{6}\right)

<u>STEP 1: </u>Remove the brackets

Take note that the product of same sign(- and -) will give you the addition sign.

-\dfrac{7}{8}-\left(-\dfrac{5}{6}\right)=-\dfrac{7}{8}+\dfrac{5}{6}

<u>STEP 2:</u> Find the Lowest Common Multiple of 8 and 6

Lowest Common Multiple of 8 and 6 is 24

<u>STEP 3:</u> Use the LCM to Simplify

-\dfrac{7}{8}+\dfrac{5}{6}=\dfrac{(-3X7)+(5X4)}{24}\\=\dfrac{-21+20}{24}\\=\dfrac{-1}{24}\\=-\dfrac{1}{24}

Therefore:

-\dfrac{7}{8}-\left(-\dfrac{5}{6}\right)=-\dfrac{1}{24}

Answer: - 1/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Reduce to simplest form.

− 7/8 - ( - 5/6)

= - 7/8 + 5/6

Find the LCM of the denominators

Which is 48

= [- (7×6) + (5×8)]/48

= ( - 42 + 40)/48

= -2/48

= - 1/24 or - 0.04167
