To solve the the question we proceed as follows:
From trigonometric laws
(cos x)^2+(sin x)^2=1
(cos y)^2+(sin y)^2=1
sin (x-y)=sin x sin y-sin y cos x
cos (x-y)=cos x cos y+ sin x sin y
si  x=8/17
cos x=sqrt(1-(sin x)^2)=sqrt(1-64/289)=sqrt(225/289)=15/17
cos y=3/5
sin x= sqrt(1- (cos x)^2)= sqrt(1-9/25)=sqrt(16/25)=4/5
thus
tan (x-y)=[sin (x-y)]/[cos (x-y)]
=[sin x cos y-sin y cos x]/[cos x cos y+sin x sin y]
plugging in the values we obtain:
[8/17 *3/5-4/5*15/7]/[15/17*3/5+8/17*4/5]
simplifying
[24/85-60/85]/[45/85+32/85]
=-36/77

bagirrra123 [75]

so , bro to multripy fractions , you have to convert the mixed fraction into unlike fractions . so lets get started.

2 3/4  *  1 1/3

= 12 / 4  * 4/3

now multiply normally

= 48 / 12

divide this by 4/4 to get simplest for

= 12 / 3 divided by 3/3

= 4/1
