Is subtracting fractions with different denominators the same thing as adding ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's the same process yes. You just subtract numerators instead of adding them after you convert to the LCD.

Okay so you just gotta find the LCD to find your answer ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u mean do you use similar methods to ca lculate them? - yes similar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

You need to get the LCD the same way you got it by adding, then you subtract the numerators to get your answer. And then simplify if you can.
