Whats the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-\frac{ 9 }{ 6 }+(-\frac{ 3 }{ 5 })\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oi o-o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dunno

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you are adding a negative fraction, you are just subtracting them both.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to make them have the same base though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i got to put it in simplest form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got -12/5 and in mixed form its -2 2/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What did you do for that? Did you make them both have the base of 30 and then simplify?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no but the denominate is 5 so it stays soo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then just add

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No that doesn't work.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They need to have a common demoninator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-9+-3=12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it does its 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No the fractions have two different denominators. 5 and 6 aren't the same so you need to make a common denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

damn i typed it wro ng on a calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to multiply the first fraction by 5 and the second by 6 to get the demoninator of 30.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx i got it now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok what was your final answer? I want to check it with mine.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx for the medal btw.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhh i dont remember i just remember the denominator
