Answer 2

$\bigg( \dfrac{8}{15} \bigg) +\bigg ( \dfrac{ - 3}{25} \bigg)$

Remove brackets:

$=\dfrac{8}{15} -\dfrac{ 3}{25}$

Make the denominators the same:

$=\dfrac{8 \times 5}{15 \times 5} -\dfrac{ 3 \times 3}{25 \times 3}$

$=\dfrac{40}{75} -\dfrac{9}{75}$

Put them in single fraction:

$=\dfrac{40 - 9}{75}$

Subtract:

$=\dfrac{31}{75}$
