Franklin's Cheap and effective math tutoring!
5/6<1/2x-1/2y<3/2
time everything by 2, then:
5/6*2<1/2*2x-1/2*2y<3/2*2,
so 5/3<x-y<3.
Everything between 5/3 and 3 could be a possible value, like 2.
I guess you mean this, because " " looks like inequity signs to me.

Albert, I’m sure we could solve this easily but the question is not quite clear. What are the 5/6 and 3/2? Should there be some parenthesis, or perhaps an equal sign somewhere up there?10/06/19
