Question

simplify the following ques​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the denominators are of same positive numbers we can add them directly

(i) -5/7 + 3/7 = (-5+3)/7 = -2/7

(ii) -15/4 + 7/4 = (-15+7)/4 = -8/4

Further dividing by 4 we get,

-8/4 = -2

(iii) -8/11 + -4/11 = (-8 + (-4))/11 = (-8-4)/11 = -12/11

(iv) 6/13 + -9/13 = (6 + (-9))/13 = (6-9)/13 = -3/13

need to convert the denominators to positive numbers.

5/-9 = (5 × -1)/ (-9 × -1) = -5/9

The denominators are 9 and 3

By taking LCM for 9 and 3 is 9

We rewrite the given fraction in order to get the same denominator

-5/9 = (-5×1) / (9×1) = -5/9 and

7/3 = (7×3) / (3×3) = 21/9

Since the denominators are same
