$\bold\green{Answer:}$

Find the LCM of the denominators

2 | 12, 36

2 | 6, 18

3 | 3, 9

3 | 1, 3

1, 1

LCM of 12 and 36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

= 36

$\bold \red{ \frac{ - 7 \times 1}{36 \times 1} } \bold\red { = \frac{ - 7}{36} }$

$\bold\blue{ \frac{ - 11 \times 3}{12 \times 3} = \frac{ - 33}{36} }$

$\bold\purple{ \frac{ - 33}{36} - \frac{ - 7}{36} = \frac{ (- 33) - ( - 7)}{36} = \frac{ - 26}{36}}$
