(-3)^2 + 4(-3) + 1
9 - 12 + 1

3/2 and 9/10. Look at the denominators. 2 times what number equals 10. That number would be 5. So if you multiply the first fractions denominator by 5 you get 10. Do the same to the top. you get a new fracrion which is 15/10. Add normally. 15/10 + 9/10 = 24/10. In lowest terms it is 2 2/5 (2 wholes and 2 out of 5)
