To calculate: The simplified form of
Answer to Problem 35E
The simplified form of
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The statement “
Formula used:
When two negative fractions with different denominators are added then the two unlike fractions are converted into like fractions by multiplying the denominators with a common factor of their lowest common multiple(LCM) and then accordingly adding the two.
Consider the provided statement “
Recall that when two fractions with different denominators are subtracted then the two unlike fractions are converted into like fractions by multiplying the denominators with a common factor of their lowest common multiple(LCM) and then accordingly adding the two.
LCM of
So, multiply
Thus, the given expression can be simplified as,
Simplify it further as,
Since, it cannot be simplified further,
Hence, the simplified form of
