Question

Find (x + y) ÷ (x - y) if x=5/4 and y= -1/3

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture to see how to do it. Here, I’m explaining what I’m doing in the picture.

1. Substitute values. (x+y)÷(x-y) where x is 5/4 and y is -1/3.
2. Simplify. Pretty self-explanitory. Just give everything like-denominators and simplify plus and minus signs.
3. Do the division. Divide 11/12 by 19/12. To do that, you multiply 11/12 by the reciprocal of 19/12, which is 12/19.

Answer 2

Answer:11/18

Step-by-step explanation:

Here x=5/4and y=(-1/3)

(x+y)/(x-y)=(5/4)+(-1/3)/(5/4)-(-1/3)

=(5/4 )-(1/3)/(5/4)+(1/3)

=(11/12)/(18/12)

=11/12 * 12/18

=11/18
