Question

Evaluate the expression $x+y$ when $x=-\frac{4}{5}andy=\frac{1}{3}$

Answer 1

Finding the value of the expression :

Given expression is $x+y$ and $x=-\frac{4}{5}andy=\frac{1}{3}$

Putting the values of $x$ and $y$ in the expression we get

$\begin{array}{rcl}\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}& =& \left(-\frac{4}{5}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\\ & =& \frac{-12+5}{15}\{\mathrm{Taking}\mathrm{LCM}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{denominators}\}\\ & =& \frac{-7}{15}\end{array}$

Hence, the required value of the expression is $\frac{-7}{15}$.
