Answer: 231

<u>Explanation:</u>

Liwen Celina

5x 6x

5x - 21 = $(\frac{2}{3})$ 6x

5x - 21 = 4x

<u>-4x +21</u> <u>-4x +21 </u>

x = 21

Liwen: 5x = 5(21) = 105

Celina: 6x = 6(21) =<u> 126</u>

REY [17]

Answer:

1421/576

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum = - 13/8 + 5/12 = - 39/24 + 10/24 = - 29/24

Difference = - 13/8 - 5/12 = - 39/24 - 10/24 = - 49/24

Sum * Difference = (-29/24)*(-49/24) = 1421/576
