Find y−xy - xy−x where y=−1116y = -\frac{11}{16}y=−1611 and x=1832x = \frac{18}{32}x=3218.
Simplify xxx:
x=1832=916x = \frac{18}{32} = \frac{9}{16}x=3218=169
Now compute y−xy - xy−x:
y−x=−1116−916=−11−916=−2016=−54y - x = -\frac{11}{16} - \frac{9}{16} = \frac{-11 - 9}{16} = \frac{-20}{16} = -\frac{5}{4}y−x=−1611−169=16−11−9=16−20=−45
