Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{-17}{30}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Fine a common denominator.  Both 5 and  6 will evenly go into 30 so make equivalent fractions with 30 as the denominator:

$\frac{-7}{5}$ = $\frac{-42}{30}$  5 x 6 is 30 so we multiply -7 x 6 to get -42

$\frac{5}{6}$ = $\frac{25}{30}$  6 x 5 is 30 so we multiply 5 x 5 to get 25

$\frac{-42}{30}$ + $\frac{25}{30}$ = $\frac{-17}{30}$  The denominator stays the same 30.  We add the numerators.  -42 + 25  You add the absolute vales and take the sign of the larger absolute value.  Absolute value is a positive number that shows the distance that number is from zero.
