What is the value of y − x when y = −11/16 and x = 18/32? (September 2023 - G01)

Correct answer: D. - 5/4.
Let's solve for y - x:
y = -11/16
x = 18/32

Simplest form for both values:
y = -11/16 (already in simplest form)
x = 9/16 (18/32 divided by 2 = 9/16)

Now we can find the difference:
y - x = -11/16 - 9/16

Subtracting the numerators with the same denominator:
y - x = -20/16

Simplifying the result:
y - x = -5/4

Therefore, the value of y - x is -5/4.
