Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Concept Involved:
We need to combine the like fraction by adding the numerator and keeping the same denominator, then simplify the fraction, and then add further to get the result.
When adding integer with same sign we need find their sum and retain the sign of the larger number to the answer. When adding integers with different signs we need to find their difference and retain the sign of the larger number to the answer.
When subtracting integers, we need to change the subtraction problem to addition problem by changing the sign of the integer we are subtracting, then following the rules of adding integers.
Calculation: Rewrite the mixed fraction as improper fraction
Group the numerator of the like fraction
