STEP BY STEP WORK
For subtraction , you want to find the common denominator so you multiply 10 by 2 to get 20 and then whatever you do for the button you do for the top so u multiply 3 by 2 as well and ur new fractions are 6/20 - 3/20. You just subtract after this and keep the denominator so the answer is 3/20. Do the same steps for the subtraction.

Adding is the same as well you find the common denominator and add the numerators
