First you make the fractions have a common denominator. In this case it would be 6.

Then you have 8 3/6 - 2 4/6.

Because the number you are subtracting is greater than what you are subtracting from, you can turn the fraction into an improper fraction.

8 3/6 = 7 9/6

9/6 - 4/6 = 5/6

Then subtract the whole numbers.

7-2 = 5

Answer: 5 5/6

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$\boxed{(5(-\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{6}),5(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{6}))}$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The origin of the coordinate system is the center of the circle. So we have an angle that measures $5\pi/12=75^{\circ}$ . so the x-coordinate and y-coordinate can be found, by using trigonometry as follows:

$x=20cos(5\pi/12)=5\sqrt{6}-5\sqrt{2} \\ \\ Arranging:\\ \\x=5(-\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{6}) \\ \\y=20sin(5\pi/12)=5\sqrt(6)+5\sqrt{2} \\ \\ Arranging:\\ \\y=5(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{6})$
