simplify |-1/2 - 1/8| + (-3/4+56)

|[tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex][tex]-\frac{1}{8}[/tex]| = |[tex]-\frac{5}{8}[/tex]| or just [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] and [tex]-\frac{3}{4}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] = D) [tex]\frac{17}{24}[/tex]
