Forget about the negative sign. First you have to find a least common denominator. This would be 63. Since we had to multiply 9 by 7 to get 63 we have to multiply the numerator (4) by 7. This gives us a new fraction of 36/63. Since we ha e to multiply 21 by 3 to get 63 we have to multiply 19 by 3. This gives us 57. So now we have 36/63 and 57/63. Then we add the negative sign back in making 57/63 -57/63. Now we add them together. Because one has a negative sign and one is positive the number has to be closer to zero. So the answer is -21/63.

Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
To find the slope of a line we divide how many times it goes over by the number of times it goes up
The line goes over 4 and up 2 which is shown like

We can simplify this

The answer is 
Hope this helps!
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagrams show triangular figures
The first figure has 1 dot
The second has 1 + 2 = 3 dots
The third has 3 + 3 = 6 dots
The fourth has 6 + 4 = 10 dots
Note the pattern is + 2 , + 3, + 4
Thus the fifth pattern is 10 + 5 = 15 dots
Answer:
the larger number is 69
the smaller number is 16
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the smaller number
y is the larger number
x + y = 85
y - 4x = 5
y = 5 + 4x
x + 5 + 4x = 85
5x = 80
x = 16
y = 69
