Answer 1

To find the sum of fractions, we need to convert them to have a common denominator, then add the numerators.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sum of fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 15. So, we need to convert the fractions to have a denominator of 15.

For the first fraction, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 18/15. For the second fraction, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 10 to get -140/150.

Adding the fractions gives us 18/15 + (-140/150) = -122/150.
