d) ( 24 / 175 )

Answer 1

To add the fractions, convert both fractions to have a common denominator and then add the numerators.

Step-by-step explanation:

To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common denominator of 25 and 35 is 175.

Converting both fractions to have a denominator of 175:

-18/25 = -126/175

6/35 = 30/175

Now add the numerators:

-126/175 + 30/175 = -96/175

Therefore, the answer is (-96 / 175).
