Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{5}{7}-(-\frac{1}{7})=\frac{6}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate :

$\frac{5}{7}-(-\frac{1}{7})$

Solution:

Two negatives multiply to become a positive.

Thus, we can remove parenthesis by reversing the signs of the fraction by multiplying the negative outside.

⇒ $\frac{5}{7}+\frac{1}{7}$

Since the denominators are same for both fractions, so we simply add the numerators.

⇒ $\frac{5+1}{7}$

⇒ $\frac{6}{7}$  (Answer)
