Question

help help -3/4-(-1/6)

Answer 1

First, note that having two negatives will equal one positive

- (-1/6) = +1/6

Next, find common denominators

(-3/4) + (1/6)

(-3/4)(6/6) = -18/24

(1/6)(4/4) = 4/24

Then, simplify. Combine like terms

-18/24 + 4/24 = -14/24

Finally, simplify

(-14/24)/(2/2) = -7/12

-7/12 is your answer

hope this helps
