i havent done that one yet. i dont really know where to start.

Answer 47

cross multiply??

Answer 48

first put them over the same denominator so u can combine them

Answer 49

multiply the top and bottom of the first fraction by 5

Answer 50

multiply the top and bottom of the second fraction by 7

Answer 51

k did that

Answer 52

the 2 denominators do not have the same sign. one is positive. one is neg. is that ok?

Answer 53

-25/35 - 42/-35

Answer 54

notice that a negative in the denominator still make the right fraction a negative number... so u have a negative times a negative which makes a positive

Answer 55

ohh ok

Answer 56

if it was addition would it stay negative though?

Answer 57

yes

Answer 58

ok now what

Answer 59

-25 - 42 ?

Answer 60

-67/35 is that the answer?

Answer 61

since they now have the same denominator u can combine them... i get 17/35

Answer 62

-25/35 - 42/35

Answer 63

but -25 - 42 is -67...

Answer 64

the second fraction becomes positive because of the double negative

Answer 65
