2 5/2+2-8/7+6

Solution

2 \frac{5}{2} + 2 - \frac{8}{7} + 6

Solution

11 \frac{5}{14}

Solution steps

2 \frac{5}{2} + 2 - \frac{8}{7} + 6

Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:

2 \frac{5}{2} = \frac{9}{2}

2 \frac{5}{2}

Convert mixed numbers to improper fraction:

a \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot c + b}{c}

2 \frac{5}{2} = \frac{2 \cdot 2 + 5}{2}

= \frac{9}{2}

= \frac{9}{2} + 2 - \frac{8}{7} + 6

Follow the PEMDAS order of operations

Add and subtract (left to right)

\frac{9}{2} + 2 - \frac{8}{7} + 6 : \frac{159}{14}

\frac{9}{2} + 2 - \frac{8}{7} + 6

\frac{9}{2} + 2 = \frac{13}{2}

\frac{9}{2} + 2

Convert element to fraction:

2 = \frac{2 \cdot 2}{2}

= \frac{2 \cdot 2}{2} + \frac{9}{2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{2 \cdot 2 + 9}{2}

2 \cdot 2 + 9 = 13

2 \cdot 2 + 9

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= 4 + 9

Add the numbers:

4 + 9 = 13

= 13

= \frac{13}{2}

= \frac{13}{2} - \frac{8}{7} + 6

\frac{13}{2} - \frac{8}{7} = \frac{75}{14}

\frac{13}{2} - \frac{8}{7}

Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

Multiply each numerator by the same amount needed to multiply its

corresponding denominator to turn it into the LCM

14

For

\frac{13}{2} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

7

\frac{13}{2} = \frac{13 \cdot 7}{2 \cdot 7} = \frac{91}{14}

For

\frac{8}{7} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

2

\frac{8}{7} = \frac{8 \cdot 2}{7 \cdot 2} = \frac{16}{14}

= \frac{91}{14} - \frac{16}{14}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{91 - 16}{14}

Subtract the numbers:

91 - 16 = 75

= \frac{75}{14}

= \frac{75}{14} + 6

\frac{75}{14} + 6 = \frac{159}{14}

\frac{75}{14} + 6

Convert element to fraction:

6 = \frac{6 \cdot 14}{14}

= \frac{6 \cdot 14}{14} + \frac{75}{14}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{6 \cdot 14 + 75}{14}

6 \cdot 14 + 75 = 159

6 \cdot 14 + 75

Multiply the numbers:

6 \cdot 14 = 84

= 84 + 75

Add the numbers:

84 + 75 = 159

= 159

= \frac{159}{14}

= \frac{159}{14}

= \frac{159}{14}

Convert improper fractions to mixed numbers:

\frac{159}{14} = 11 \frac{5}{14}

\frac{159}{14} = 11
