Question

f\(\dfrac{-2}{17}+\dfrac{15}{23}+\dfrac{-15}{17}+\dfrac{4}{19}+\dfrac{8}{23}\)

g \(\dfrac{-1}{2}+\dfrac{3}{21}+\dfrac{-2}{6}+\dfrac{-5}{30}\)

Answer 1

f)\(-\dfrac{2}{17}+\dfrac{15}{23}+-\dfrac{15}{17}+\dfrac{4}{19}+\dfrac{8}{23}\)
\(=\left(-\dfrac{2}{17}+-\dfrac{15}{17}\right)+\left(\dfrac{15}{23}+\dfrac{8}{23}\right)+\dfrac{4}{19}\)
\(=-1+1+\dfrac{4}{19}\)
\(=0+\dfrac{4}{19}=\dfrac{4}{19}\)
g)\(-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{3}{21}+-\dfrac{2}{6}+-\dfrac{5}{30}\)
\(=-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{7}+-\dfrac{1}{3}+-\dfrac{1}{6}\)
\(=\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}+-\dfrac{1}{3}+-\dfrac{1}{6}\right)+\dfrac{1}{7}\)
\(=-\dfrac{3+2+1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{7}\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{7}-1\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{7}-\dfrac{7}{7}=-\dfrac{6}{7}\)

Answer 2

`f)(-2)/17 + 15/23 + (-15)/17 + 4/19 + 8/23`

`= (-2/17+ -15/17)+(15/23+8/23)+4/19`

`= -1+1+4/19`

`= 0 +4/19`

`= 0`

`g)(-1)/2 + 3/21 + (-2)/6 + (-5)/30`

`= (-1)/2 + 1/7 + (-1)/3 + (-1)/6`

`= (-21)/42 + 6/42 + (-14)/42 + (-7)/42`

`=(-36)/42`

`=(-6)/7`

Answer 3

\(f,-\dfrac{2}{17}+\dfrac{15}{23}-\dfrac{15}{17}+\dfrac{4}{19}+\dfrac{8}{23}\)

\(=-\dfrac{2}{17}-\dfrac{15}{17}+\dfrac{15}{23}+\dfrac{8}{23}+\dfrac{4}{19}\)

\(=-1+1+\dfrac{4}{19}\)

\(=\dfrac{4}{19}\)

\(g,-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{3}{21}-\dfrac{2}{6}-\dfrac{5}{30}\)

\(=-\dfrac{5}{14}-\dfrac{1}{2}\)

\(=-\dfrac{5}{14}-\dfrac{7}{14}\)

\(=-\dfrac{6}{7}\)
