A way to add fractions that always works is to multiply each numerator by the denominator of the other, then express the sum of products over the product of the denominators.

Here, you have
 The sum is -1 1/12
The sum is -1 1/12

Answer:
There were 8 total steps
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so we start in the middle.
-2 + 4 = 2. We're back in the middle. 
2 - 3 = -1. One away from the middle. 
-1 + 5 = 4. Now you're at the top. 
4 x 2 = 8

Here is your answer! The coefficient of xy is 6. To solve this problem, you need to multiply your two polynomials together. I used the FOIL Method- multiply the First two, the Outside two, the Inside two, and the Last two. You can see how I did it on the picture attached. Next, the answer that you get as a result from FOILing is your polynomial. If you look at the number before xy, that is the coefficient. A coefficient is a number that is right before and attached to a variable. I hope this helps you! :))
