Answer 4

21

Answer 5

I got 2/21 i keep being told it's wrong do you have any suggestions as of why?

Answer 6

so (7 * 7)/(3 * 7) - (5 * 3)/(7 * 3) = 49/21 - 15/21 = 34/21

Answer 7

7/3 + -5/7 is the same as 7/3 - 5/7
These two need a common denominator, the lowest is 21 so the new equation is:
49/21 - 15/21
Leave the denominator the same, but suptract the top (49-15=34)

The answer is 34/21 (1 13/21)
