Answer:


-(7)/(12)

Explanation:

  1. Write it out:
    -(1)/(3) - (1)/(4)
  2. Find a common denominator: 12
  3. Alter the numerators, so they fit the denominators: 1 × 4 = 4, 1 × 3 = 3
  4. Put the new numerators over the denominators: -4/12 - 3/12

  5. -(4)/(12) - (3)/(12) = -(7)/(12)

I hope this helps!
