Answer 11

so can anyone help me

Answer 12

You are adding two fractions with different denominators.
You first need to find the least common denominator.

Answer 13

What is the LCD of 5 and 2?

Answer 14

okay would it be 10

Answer 15

Good. Now you need to convert each fraction to a fraction with 10 as its denominator.

Answer 16

The first fraction has a 5 as its denominator. What do you multiply 5 by to get 10?

Answer 17

\[\frac{ -2 }{ 5 }+\frac{ -1 }{ 2 }\] is the same as \[\frac{ -2 }{ 5 }-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\] Find a common denominator by multiplying the 1/2 by 5/5 and multiplying -2/5 by 2/2:
\[\frac{ -2 }{ 5 }(\frac{ 2 }{ 2 })-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }(\frac{ 5 }{ 5 })=\frac{ -4 }{ 10 }-\frac{ 5 }{ 10 }\]
Subtract the numerators since you have a common denominator, giving you :
\[\frac{ -9 }{ 10 }\]

Answer 18

so -2/10 + -1/10

Answer 19

oh naw 2

Answer 20

The first fraction becomes (-2/5) * (2/2) = -4/10

Answer 21

-5/10

Answer 22

-9/10

Answer 23

The second fraction has a 2 for the denominator, so you need to multiply it by 5/5
-1/2 * 5/5 = -5/10
Now with the common denmominator combine them together.
-5/10 + -4/10 = -9/10

Answer 24

That's it, you got it!
