To subtract fractions, you need to obtain a common denominator. We can achieve this, in this case, by multiplying:


((4)/(4) * (22)/(13)) - ((13)/(13)*(21)/(4))

Simplify this:


(88)/(52) - (286)/(52)

Now we have common denominators, so we can easily just subtract the numerators, and we have the answer:


-(198)/(52)

Notice that this is divisible by 2:


-(99)/(26)

That's your answer!
