Your answer would be 1, or 72+25.

What is happening in this case is a negative number is being subtracted from a positive. This means you are taking away a negative. The two negatives cancel each other out, and then it becomes you are adding a positive.

Another way I like to think about this is the two minus symbols combine together to form a plus sign.

Hope this helped!

Ben, Shaneeka, and Phil live on the same street. Ben lives 6/11 mile north of Phil, and 1/3 mile north of Shaneeka. How far does

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Shaneeka live from Phil 7/33 mile far.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ben lives 6/11 mile north of Phil, and 1/3 mile north of Shaneeka.

Now, to get how far does Shaneeka live from Phil.

So, by subtracting the distance from 6/11 mile north where Ben lives from Phil to 1/3 mile north where Ben lives from Shaneeka:

$\frac{6}{11} -\frac{1}{3}$

$=\frac{6\times 3 -1\times 11}{33}$

$=\frac{18-11}{33}$

$=\frac{7}{33}$

Therefore, Shaneeka live from Phil 7/33 mile far.
