OpenStudy (yolo_king):

In order to subtract fractions with diferent denominators Build each fraction so that both denominators are equal. ... Re-write each equivalent fraction using this new denominator. Now you can subtract the numerators, and keep the denominator of the equivalent fractions. Re-write your answer as a simplified or reduced fraction, if needed.

DO you know LCM?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ -2 }{ 3 }*\frac{ 8 }{ 8 }-\frac{ 3 }{ 8}*\frac{ 3}{ 3 }=\frac{ -16-9 }{ 24 }\]
