OpenStudy (aum):

least common denominator of 3 and 4 is 12. make the denominator the same value of 12 by multiplying the top and bottom of the first fraction by 4 and the second fraction by 3.

OpenStudy (aum):

\[ -\frac 13 + \frac 34 = -\frac 13 * \frac 44 + \frac 34 * \frac 33 = -\frac{4}{12} + \frac{9}{12} = \frac{-4+9}{12} = \frac{5}{12} \]
