Question

\(\dfrac{-24}{17}\) - (\(\dfrac{-7}{17}\) - \(\dfrac{1}{16}\))          

Answer 1

\(-\dfrac{24}{17}-\left(-\dfrac{7}{17}-\dfrac{1}{16}\right)\)

\(=-\dfrac{24}{17}+\dfrac{7}{17}+\dfrac{1}{16}\)

\(=\dfrac{-17}{17}+\dfrac{1}{16}\)

\(=-1+\dfrac{1}{16}\)

\(=-\dfrac{16}{16}+\dfrac{1}{16}\)

\(=-\dfrac{15}{16}\)

Answer 2

\(\dfrac{-24}{17}-\left(-\dfrac{7}{17}-\dfrac{1}{16}\right)\\ =-\dfrac{24}{17}+\dfrac{7}{17}+\dfrac{1}{16}\\ =-1+\dfrac{1}{16}=-\dfrac{15}{16}\)
