Advertisements
Solution
Given, `5/13 - ((-8)/7) = 5/13 + 8/26`
= `(5 xx 2)/(13 xx 2) + (8 xx 1)/(26 xx 1)`
= `10/26 + 8/26` ...`[(∵ "LCM of 13 and 26 is 26, so convert each of the given"),("fractions to equivalent fractions with denominator 26")]`
= `(10 + 18)/26`
= `18/26`
= `(18 ÷ 2)/(26 ÷ 2)` ...[Dividing numerator and denominator by 2]
= `9/13`
