Find each sum or difference. -7/3 + 3/4

검증된 단계별 안내

Identify the problem as adding two fractions: \(-\frac{7}{3} + \frac{3}{4}\).

Find the least common denominator (LCD) of the fractions. Since the denominators are 3 and 4, the LCD is the least common multiple of 3 and 4.

Rewrite each fraction with the LCD as the new denominator by multiplying numerator and denominator appropriately: \(-\frac{7}{3} = -\frac{7 \times 4}{3 \times 4}\) and \(\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3}\).

Add the numerators of the rewritten fractions while keeping the common denominator: \(\frac{-7 \times 4 + 3 \times 3}{12}\).

Simplify the numerator by performing the multiplication and addition, then write the final fraction. If possible, reduce the fraction to its simplest form.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Adding and Subtracting Fractions

To add or subtract fractions, they must have a common denominator. This allows you to combine the numerators directly while keeping the denominator the same.

Finding the Least Common Denominator (LCD)

The LCD is the smallest number that both denominators divide into evenly. Finding the LCD helps rewrite fractions with different denominators into equivalent fractions with a common denominator.

Simplifying Fractions

After performing addition or subtraction, the resulting fraction should be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor to express the fraction in simplest form.
