Question

$$x-3/7-x-5/7=$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{8}{7}\approx -1.142857143$

Solution Steps

Combine $x$ and $-x$ to get $0$.

$$-\frac{3}{7}-\frac{5}{7}$$

Since $-\frac{3}{7}$ and $\frac{5}{7}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-3-5}{7}$$

Subtract $5$ from $-3$ to get $-8$.

$$-\frac{8}{7}$$

Factor

$-\frac{8}{7} = -1\frac{1}{7} = -1.1428571428571428$
