How do you find the sum of \(\frac{12}{13} + \left(-\frac{1}{13}\right)\)?

Answer (3)

y + -x is the same as y - x. 12/13 +(-1/13) is the same as 12/13 - 1/13. The question is now 12/13 -1/13.
12 - 1 = 11. The answer is 11/13.

12/13 + (-1/13) = 12/13 - 1/13 = 11/13
note the "+" and "-" turn it into a "-" which means you have to subtract.
