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

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 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.
