Q. Evaluate the expression shown below and write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.\newline213+(613) -\frac{2}{13}+\left(-\frac{6}{13}\right) \newlineAnswer:
  1. Identify like terms: Identify like terms. Both terms have the same denominator, which means they can be combined.
  2. Combine numerators: Combine the numerators.\newlineAdd the numerators while keeping the denominator the same.\newline213+(613)=2+613-\frac{2}{13} + \left(-\frac{6}{13}\right) = -\frac{2 + 6}{13}
  3. Perform addition: Perform the addition.\newlineCalculate the sum of the numerators.\newline(2+6)=8- (2 + 6) = -8
  4. Write combined fraction: Write the combined fraction. Place the calculated sum of the numerators over the common denominator. 813-\frac{8}{13}
  5. Check for simplification: Check if the fraction can be simplified.\newlineThe fraction 813-\frac{8}{13} cannot be simplified further as 88 and 1313 have no common factors other than 11.
