Answer:
The result is 35/72.
Step-by-step explanation:
To add rational number with the same denominator, we need to take the the LCM of the denominator to make all the denominators same.
The LCM of 8, 12 and 9 is 72.
1/8 x 9/9 = 9/72
7/12 x 6/6 = 42/72
[-2/9] x 8/8 = [-16/72]
Add all the numbers.
9/72 + 42/72 + (-16/72)
It becomes, (9+42-16)/72
By adding we get, 35/72.
Therefore that is the answer.
