rishavraj (rishavraj):

is it \[\frac{ 5 }{ 8 } - (-\frac{ 2 }{ 8 })~~???\]

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@Katielyn537 ??

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

- 3/8..

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Nothing needed here.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Same denominator.

OpenStudy (katielyn537):

sorry im just really stupid :(

OpenStudy (katielyn537):

and yea i just realized i could have done that one

rishavraj (rishavraj):

see \[- ~ \times~ - ~=~ +\] so its \[\frac{ 5 }{ 8 } + \frac{ 2 }{ 8 }\]

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

So just 5 - -2. (No your not, its ok).

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@Katielyn537 u sure '-' sign is two times??

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Also, rish is giving you a good explanation and is it one positive and one negative?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

so it would be \[\frac{ 5 + 2 }{ 8 } = \frac{ 7 }{ 8 }\] @Katielyn537 @MissSmartiez
