Question

What should be subtracted from 15/26 to get 7/13 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

5/24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Add (-7/8) to each side and then multiply both sides by -1 (to clear the negative sign on x) and you get:

x = 5/24.

You can check this by computing (-7/8) - (5/24). When adding/subtracting fractions, the denominators must be equal. Multiply (-7/8) by (3/3) to get (-21/24). Subtract (5/24) and you are left with (-26/24), which can be simplified to -13/12.

Answer 2

Answer:

15/26 - X=7/13

Step-by-step explanation:

15/26-7/13=X

15-7×2/26=X

15-14/26=X

1/26=X
