Question

What should be subtracted from the sum of 5⅜ and -13/12 to get 2​ please help

Answer 1

Answer:

55/24

Step-by-step explanation:

43/8+(-13/12)-x=2

LCM of 8 and 12 is 24

43×3/8×3+ -13×2/12×2-x=2

129/24+ -26/24-x=2

103/24-x=2

x=103/24-2

lcm of 24 and 1 is 24

x=103×1/24×1 - 2×24/1×24

x=103/24-48/24

x=103/24-48/24

x=55/24
