How to subtract a negative fraction from a positive fraction?

Mathematics

Let's take an example to illustrate this case:

<span>positive fraction = 2/7
</span>
<span>negative fraction = - 3/5

Now we need to subtract  </span><span>- 3/5 from 2/7

Right?

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

here we need to unify the denominators as follows:

the lowest common factor between 7 and 5 is 35
2/7 = 10/35
3/5 = 21/35

Now back to </span><span>2/7 + 3/5:

</span><span><span>2/7 + 3/5 = 10/35 + 21/35 = (10+21)/35 = 31/35

That's it




Hope that helps you</span>

Answer: No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Expand the brackets- 9-3x+5x=2x+4

2. Add common terms- 9+2x=2x+4

3. Subtract 2x from both sides- 9=4

4. Nine cannot equal four and therefore, there is no solution.

Currently, the sum of the ages of Yumi, Rana and Victoria is 42 years. Four years ago, the sum of the ages of Rana and Victoria
Setler [38]
Y + R + V = 42
but 4 YEARS AGO : (R-4) +(V-4) = Y

Replace Y in the 1st equation by:  (R-4) +(V-4)

(R-4) +(V-4) + R + V = 42

2R - 2V - 8 = 42;  2R -2V  = 50, or R+V=25
IF R+V =25 AND Y + R +V = 42, then Y + 25 = 42 and Y =17
