Question

5/7−(−1/7) please answer fast I need iittt

Answer 1

Answer: $\frac{6}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{5}{7}-\left(-\frac{1}{7}\right)$

Once you take off the parenthesis, your sign should change from negative to positive.

$\frac{5}{7}-\left(-\frac{1}{7}\right)=\frac{5}{7}+\frac{1}{7}\\\\\frac{5}{7}+\frac{1}{7}$

The fractions now both have the same denominator. Thus, we can add the numerators.

$\frac{5+1}{7}\\\\5+1\\\\6=\frac{6}{7}$

Therefore, $\frac{5}{7}-\left(-\frac{1}{7}\right)=\frac{6}{7}$
