Question

5. Simplify: 2/5 +3/7+(-6/5)+ (-13/7)​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{2}{5} + \frac{3}{7} + ( - \frac{6}{5} ) + ( - \frac{13}{7} ) \\ \frac{2}{5} + \frac{3}{7} - \frac{6}{5} - \frac{13}{7} \\ ( \frac{2}{5} - \frac{6}{5} ) + ( \frac{3}{7} - \frac{13}{7} ) \\ \frac{2 - 6}{5} + \frac{3 - 13}{7} \\ \frac{ - 4}{5} + \frac{ - 10}{7} \\ \frac{ - 4}{5} - \frac{10}{7} \\ \frac{ - 28 - 50}{35} \\ \frac{ - 78}{35} \\ - \frac{78}{35}$

Answer 2

Answer: -78 / 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

 2/5 + 3/7 + (-6/5) + (-13/7)

Combine terms that have the same denominator

= 2/5 + (-6/5) + 3/7 + (-13/7)

= -4/5 - 10/7

Convert denominator by Least Common Multiple (LCM)

= (-4 × 7) / (5 × 7) - (10 × 5) / (7 × 5)

= -28/35 - 50/35

= -78 / 35

Hope this helps!! :)
