Answer:

-
(1)/(3)

Explanation:

First make both fractions have the same denominator:

To do this, we can multiply
(-3)/(4) by 3, giving us a denominator of 12.


(-3 * 3)/(4*3) +
(5)/(12)


(-9)/(12) +
(5)/(12)

Now that we have the same denominators, we can add the numerators:


(-9 +5 )/(12) =
(-4)/(12)

We can simplify
(-4)/(12) further, as both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 4:


(-1)/(3), which is the same as -
(1)/(3)
