-17/30-17/66

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-17\left( 1/30+1/66 \right) = -17\left( 8/165 \right) = -136/165\]

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

first find lcm of 30 and 66

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

30 = 2x3x5 66 - 2x3x11 lcm = 2x3x5x11 = 330

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

- 17 / 30 = -17*11 / 330 - 17 / 66 = -17*5 / 330 so we have -187/330 - 85/ 330 = - 272/330 = -136/165
