Answer:
She did not use the reciprocal of the divisor.
She added the numerators.
Hello Bubbleshi !
The first step you need to do is get everything in like terms.
- 1/6 and - 7 /4
Look at the denominator (number on the bottom)
6 and 4 go into 12, so lets check that out.
-1/6 , how can we get 12 from the denominator? Multiply it by 2.
So you multiply both the numerator (number on the top) and the denominator.
-1/6 becomes -2/12.
With -7/4, you want to get the 4 as a 12 (like terms!) so once again you multiply it by 3, and multiply the numerator as well.
-7/4 becomes -21/12.
-2/12 + (-21/12) is your final form of the problem.
You add -2 and -21 in the numerator, which is -23.
So its -23/12 which is your final answer.
Let me know if you need any more help!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
combine like terms. not trying to be mean, but that all you have to do.
It would be
indicating we start at 5 but do NOT include 5, and we keep going onward to positive infinity.
The curved parenthesis tells us not to include the endpoint.
