So let's see. When you subtract a negative, is it a positive or a negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait what??

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

In other words: is a negative minus a negative a positive or negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

soo.... the answer is gonna be positive

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Correct, so the first step is done. Instead of subtracting the negative, we should make it positive -7/15 + 11/15 Now, when your subtracting and adding, you only add/subtract from the numerator. The denominator stays the same. In this case 15. Think you can figure it out from here? Also, yes. The answer is a positive
