5 pts Question 17 - + - = -6/14 -7/8 6/24 09/14

Answer 1

Answer:

-7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ - 3 \times 8}{6 \times 8} + \frac{ - 3 \times 6}{8 \times 6} = \frac{ - 24 - 18}{48} = \frac{ - 42}{48}$

$= \frac{ - 7}{8}$

Answer 2

Answer:

-7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the lowest common multiple of both 8 and 6.

Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24

Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24

The LCM of 6 and 8 is 24.

Now multiply both the numerator and denominator of both fractions so that both denominators equal 24.

-3/6

Take both the numerator and denominator and multiply them by 4.

-12/24.

-3/8

Take both the numerator and denominator and multiply them by 3.

-9/24.

Now we have two fractions, -12/24 and -9/24.

The question tells us to add these fractions, so add the numerators and get

(-12) + (-9) = -21.

Finally, simplify the final fraction.

-21/24

Divide both the numerator and denominator by 3.

-7/8

Your answer is B. -7/8.
