Question

if x is 5/4 and y is -1/3 , find the value of x+y -: x-y
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

given: x= 5/4, y= -1/3

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

LCM= 12

so, 5(3)-1(4)/12

= 11/12

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

LCM= 12

so, 5(3)+1(4)/12

= 19/12

so, x+y= 11/12

x-y= 19/12

need to solve: x+y/x-y

so, x+y/x-y= 11/12/19/12

by cancelling 12,

we have: 11/19

so, answer: 11/19
