-4/5 plus 7/15

OpenStudy (dezandalf42714):

-1/3

OpenStudy (dezandalf42714):

Is that one of the choices?

OpenStudy (jettddl):

ok. Why is that can you explain

OpenStudy (jettddl):

yes

OpenStudy (dezandalf42714):

Well I found the LCD first what would that be?

OpenStudy (jettddl):

15?

OpenStudy (dezandalf42714):

yes

OpenStudy (dezandalf42714):

Then you would only the -4/5 fraction to get to the same denominator. What would you do to get to 15?

OpenStudy (jettddl):

it's 12/15

OpenStudy (dezandalf42714):

yes but the 12 would be negative

OpenStudy (jettddl):

Ahh. I see

OpenStudy (dezandalf42714):

so -12/15 + 7/15 would be what?

OpenStudy (jettddl):

-1/3

OpenStudy (dezandalf42714):

perfect!!

OpenStudy (jettddl):

Thanks a bunch!
