Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}$x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

($\frac{5}{6}$x-7)-($\frac{1}{2}$x-6) =

The - sign before 6 is turned into a + sign when the bracket is removed because the arithmetic operation before the bracket is - and two - makes the second - turn into a + (It's a rule I can't rlly explain it well but yea)

$\frac{5}{6}$x-7-$\frac{1}{2}$x+6 = $\frac{5}{6}$x-1-$\frac{1}{2}$x

-7+6 makes it a -1.

$\frac{5}{6}$x-$\frac{1}{2}$x-1 = $\frac{5}{6}$x-$\frac{3}{6}$x-1

To make the denominator of the two fractions the same, I multiplied the second fraction by 3 so that both denominators are 6.

$\frac{5}{6}$x-$\frac{3}{6}$x-1 = $\frac{2}{6}$x-1

After making the denominator the same, I can directly do the equation for the numerators (5-3=2) and keep the denominator the same.

$\frac{2}{6}$x-1 = $\frac{1}{3}$x-1

Since 2/6 has a common factor which is 2, I can divide both the numerators and denominators so that the fraction can be simplified further into 1/3, its simplest form.
