my answer is correct, right?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The least common multiple of 18 and 6 is 18. We can use 18 as our common denominator. \(\dfrac{5}{18} + -\dfrac{5}{6}\) \(= \dfrac{5}{18} + -\dfrac{5}{6} \cdot \dfrac{3}{3}\) \(= \dfrac{5}{18} + -\dfrac{15}{18}\) \(= -\dfrac{10}{18} \) \(= -\dfrac{5}{9} \)
