Evaulate the expression when x= -3/8 and y= 7/12.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "28. y - x\r

\n" ); document.write( "The problem is merely a substitution problem. You see, it says x = \"-3%2F8\", right? and on #28, it says y - x. So you'll change that x into \"-3%2F8\" instead, and same with y which equals \"7%2F12\".

\n" ); document.write( "After substituting, the problem should be: \"7%2F12\" - \"-3%2F8\". i'm hoping you know full well that when two negative signs are together, then it changes to positive, which is: \"7%2F12\" + \"3%2F8\". And after that, just add, which the answer is: \"23%2F24\".
