Can the exponent in the denominator be subtracted from the exponent in the numerator when the based are different? Explain
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

No, Sorry.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bases are different, you'll have to change them even if they have a exponent or not. If you dunno how to make the denominators the same, just multiply the two by eachother.

Example) 1/2 - 3/4

\frac{1}{2}  -  \frac{3}{4}

Multiply 2 and 4 together, and then multiply the 4 to the one also. Multiply 2 to four and also to the 3.

\frac{4}{8}  -  \frac{6}{8}

The subtract from there.

\frac{ - 2}{8}

and then Reduce (if needed.)

\frac{ - 1}{4}
