The reason I'm asking is that the answer in the back of my textbook gives a plus sign: 5J + 3K/6. I think this is wrong. I think it should be a minus sign.
Should it be a plus or minus? Thanks.

5j / 6 - k / 2 = (5j - 3k)/6
It's definitely a minus sign

The answer in the back of the book is. I'm assuming that you started with:
5J/6 -K/2
Then, in an attempt to simplify the situation, you multiplied the expression by 6.
That should yield:
5J - 3K
because you multiply BOTH terms by 6.
However, because this thing isn't an equation, you have to put it all over 6, so your final answer is:
(5J-3K)/6

I think it's wrong
5j/6-k/2: if you homonimise the 2 fractions----> 5j/6-3k/6
so
(5j-3k)/6

5J/6 - K/2 = (5J - 3K)/6

No...arguments are popular sufficient the place you dont desire them as a fashion to tell if somebodys a pal. in the event that they do happen to go away you after one argument then meaning they are fickle.

it's wrong
5L/2 - K3 = 3T/2
l is 9 and k is 2
5L/2=59.2
K3= 23
3T/2=36.2
