Question

Find the value of x-y and y-x for
x = 2/3 and y = 7/6
are they equal

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x-y

2/3+5/9

6+5/9

11/9

y-x

5/9-2/3

5-6/9

-1/9

Answer 2

Answer:

X-Y = -1/2  

Y-X =  1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

X-Y = 2/3 - 7/6 = 2 x 2/3 x 2 - 7/6

              =  4-7/6

              =  -3/6 =  -1/2

Y - X = 7/6 - 2/3

       = 7/6 - 2 x 2 / 3 x 2

       = 7/6 - 4/6

       = 3/6

      = 1/2

X-Y IS NOT EQUAL TO Y-X

-1/2 IS NOT EQUAL TO 1/2
