Solve {l}{-5/-3}{-5/-3}

$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { \frac { - 5 } { - 3 } } \\ { - \frac { 5 } { - 3 } } \end{array} \right.$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{10}{3}\approx 3.333333333$$

Solution Steps

Fraction \frac{-5}{-3} can be simplified to \frac{5}{3} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$\frac{5}{3}-\frac{5}{-3}$$

Fraction \frac{5}{-3} can be rewritten as -\frac{5}{3} by extracting the negative sign.

$$\frac{5}{3}-\left(-\frac{5}{3}\right)$$

The opposite of -\frac{5}{3} is \frac{5}{3}.

$$\frac{5}{3}+\frac{5}{3}$$

Since \frac{5}{3} and \frac{5}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{5+5}{3}$$

Add 5 and 5 to get 10.

$$\frac{10}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 5}{3} = 3\frac{1}{3} = 3.3333333333333335$$
