The answer would be "-3/8 + -1/10."

Simplify means to reduce so in this case we aren't solving the question we are reducing it into simpler terms.


-(3)/(8) -(1)/(10)

According to the rules of KCC (Keep Change Change) you would have to turn the subtraction sign into a addition sign and make the positive 1/10 into a negative.


-(3)/(8) +-(1)/(10)

The equation cannot be reduce no further therefore that would be your answer.

Hope this helps.
