Answer: -1/21
Step-by-step explanation: we must make these fractions have the same denominator (the bottom number/ the number you are dividing with.)
the way we do this is we times the denominator of one fraction by the denominator and numerator (the top number/the number that is being divided into.) We then do the same with the other fraction.
So 3 times -5 is -15 as a negative times a positive always becomes more negative. 3 times 7 = 21, so -15/21 is one of the fractions. Now we must do the same but with the other fraction.
So 7 x 3 = 21, and 7 x 2 = 14, so 14/21.
Now we can add the fractions, 14/21 + -15/21, remember, a positive plus a negative will become more negative, so 14 + -15 will become -1, as you are going up on the number ladder. The denominator stays the same.
So your answer is -1/21
Hope this helps.
