Solve

Solution:

$\frac{-1}{5} * (\frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{7})$

Apply distributive property by multiplying each reaction in the box by -⅕

$(\frac{-1}{5} * \frac{3}{4}) + (\frac{-1}{5} * \frac{1}{7})$

$\frac{-3}{20} + \frac{-1}{35}$

Add together. Common denominator is 140. Therefore:

$\frac{-21 + (-4)}{140}$

$\frac{-25}{140}$

Simplify further

$\frac{-5}{28}$
