what number do 5 and 6 have in common with each other that you can use for your lcd

OpenStudy (jwheele1):

@JakeV8 same idea...its all the same to me

didn't mean to jump in... you got this... I'm out :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find a common denominator which is 30, so multiply the -1 and 5 by 5 and 6 so the bottoms equal 30, then you have to do the same for the top.....so its -5/30 - 24/30 = -29/30
