8 19/45

Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions: 8 3/5=43/5

-1/9 + 43/5-1/15

then find the least common multiplier of 9,5,15:45

Adjust fractions based on the LCM

=-5/45+387/45-3/45

Since the denominator are equal,combine the fractions

=-5+387-3/45

Add/Subtract the numbers -5+387-3=379

=379/45

Convert improper fractions to mixed numbers: 379/45

=8 19/45

THERE YOU GO I SHOWED MY WORK, HOPE IT HELPS :)

Answer:


\large\boxed{8(19)/(45)}

Explanation:

You must find LCD - Least Common Denominator

9, 5, 15 - LCD is 45

45 = 9 · 5

45 = 15 ·3


-(1)/(9)=-(1\cdot5)/(9\cdot5)=-(5)/(45)\\\\8(3)/(5)=8(3\cdot9)/(5\cdot9)=8(27)/(45)\\\\-(1)/(15)=-(1\cdot3)/(15\cdot3)=-(3)/(45)


-(1)/(9)+8(3)/(5)-(1)/(15)=-(5)/(45)+8(27)/(45)-(3)/(45)\\\\=-(5)/(45)+8+(27)/(45)-(3)/(45)\\\\=8+(-5+27-3)/(45)=8+(19)/(45)=8(19)/(45)
