Answer:

4/15

Step-by-step explanation:

When subtracting a negative, the negatives cancel and make a positive.

-1/3 - (-3/5)

-1/3 + 3/5

Now, you have to make the fractions have common denominators.  Do this by multiplying the bottom number to get the least common multiple.  Multiply the numerator by the same number you multiplied the denominator.

(-1/3)(5/5) + (3/5)(3/3)

-5/15 + 9/15

4/15

The simplest form is 4/15.

Answer: 4/15

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/3 - -3/5

Two negative signs become positive so it's

-1/3+3/5

Taking the LCM as 15,

-1/3= -5/15

3/5= 9/15

-5/15 + 9/15

= (-5+9)/15

= (9-5)/15 ( just changing the order without changing the sign)

= 4/15

This is the simplest form

(If you need it in decimal form is 0.26666... or 0.267)

Hope it helps

Someone please help me on number 30. Thank you
timurjin [86]

8.9-3.3j=-2.2j+2.3
add 3.3j to both sides
8.9=1.1j+2.3
subtract 2.3 from both sides
6.6=1.1j
divide both sides by 1.1
6=j
