The difference between mixed numbers gives:
-5¹/₆ - (-8¹/₂) = 3¹/₃
So the correct option is the third one.
<h3 /><h3>How to get the difference between mixed numbers?</h3>
Here we want to compute the difference between two mixed numbers.
First, remember that we can rewrite those as:
-5¹/₆ = (-5 - 1/6)
-8¹/₂ = (-8 - 1/2)
Now, let's go to the difference:
-5¹/₆ - (-8¹/₂)
First you can see that there are two negative signs together, so it is equivalent to a positive sign:
-5¹/₆ - (-8¹/₂) = -5¹/₆ + 8¹/₂
Now we can replace the mixed numbers to get:
-5¹/₆ + 8¹/₂ = (-5 - 1/6) + (8 + 1/2) = (8 - 5) + (1/2 - 1/6) = (3 + 2/6) = 3 + 1/3
And that can be rewritten to:
3 + 1/3 = 3¹/₃
Which is completely simplified.
So we conclude that the correct option is the third one, counting from the top.

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Δ CED and Δ CAB are similar thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
, substitute values
= 
= 
( cross- multiply )
12x = 156 - x ( add x to both sides )
13x = 156 ( divide both sides by 13 )
x = 12
Thus
AC = 156 - x = 156 - 12 = 144 → D
