Question

Answer 1

See the attachment- get started by finding a common denominator. Hope that helps!

Answer 2

Hey!

Since both fractions are negative, the answer will be negative.

Change both fractions so that they have a common denominator: 10

`(3 * 2)/(5 * 2) = (6)/(10)`

`(8 * 5)/(2 * 5) = (40)/(10)`

Add the fractions:

`(6)/(10) + (40)/(10) = 4 (6 / 2)/(10 / 2) =4 (3)/(5)`

Add the negative sign:

`4 (3)/(5) = -4 (3)/(5)`

That means your answer is 4 3/5

`\framebox{Answer = -4 $(3)/(5)$}`
