Find | - 4/9| + 5/6
Write your answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

1 and 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

absolute value of negative becomes positive (distance from zero is positive).

So 4/9 + 5/6

you need a common denominator let's use 18:

4/9 = 8/18    and 5/6 = 15/18

Now we can add: 8/18 + 15/18 = 22/18

Almost done... divide numerator and denominator by 2 to simplify = 11/9

Now mixed number= 1  2/9

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
