@kalem03 First, we need to find the least common denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the smallest number 7 and 3 go into?

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

What do 3 and 7 have in common?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well when you multiply 3 and 7 you get 21?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well yes, 21 is the lcd of 3 and 7.

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We use 21 for the denominator for both of the fractions.

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

So, 2/3 = 14/21 And 3/7 = 9/21 Now subtract 14/21 minus 9/21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\Huge\frac{2}{3} -\frac{3}{7}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What number do you multiply to 3 to get 21?
