Answer:

A negative fraction subtracted from another is the same thing as adding the positive complement of that fraction. Make the denominators (the bottom of the fraction) the same, if they are not already. You can only add halves to halves or quarters to quarters or tenths to tenths and so on. Hope this helps!!
