Hi!

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number.

So we can write this as

(13)/(19) + (1)/(19)
We don't have to do anything to the denominators, but we do have to add the numerators.
13 + 1 = 14

The answer is
(14)/(19)


Hope this helps! :)

13/19 - (-1/19)

2 negatives become positive

so

13/19 - (-1/19)
=
13/19 + 1/19
= 14/19
