Answer:
- 7/20
Step-by-step explanation:
commutative law ( a+b ) = (b+a)
here, a= 3/4
b=-2/5
Let's come to the point
1) 3/4 + -2/5 (first change the denominators into like fractions)
=> L. C. M. of denominators 4,5 is 20
3x5/4x5=15/20
-2x4/5x4=-8/20
15/20 + -8/ 20 =7/20 ( as according to additive law (-)+(+) = subtract the numbers first and keep the sign of greatest number.)
so, answer for your question (if you asked about commutative law under addition, thiswere the answers.)
