What is the difference? 3/11 -(-6/11) Express your answer in lowest terms.

Answer 1

$\sf\dfrac{3}{11}-(-\dfrac{6}{11})$

Two negatives equals a positive:

$\sf\dfrac{3}{11}+\dfrac{6}{11}$

Add the numerators and keep the denominator:

$\sf\dfrac{9}{11}$

Answer 2

3/11 - (-6/11) in the lowest term would be 9/11 because you change the sign to adding so 3/11 plus 6/11 (The negative turns into a positive) so then 6+3 equals 9 when you add you keep the denominators the same therefore the answer is 9/11. Hope this helps :)
