-12/7+ (3/14)=

1 answer

To solve the expression \(-\frac{12}{7} + \frac{3}{14}\), we need to find a common denominator for the fractions.

The denominators are 7 and 14. The least common denominator (LCD) is 14.

Now, convert \(-\frac{12}{7}\) to a fraction with the denominator of 14:

\[ -\frac{12}{7} = -\frac{12 \times 2}{7 \times 2} = -\frac{24}{14} \]

Now, we can rewrite the expression:

\[ -\frac{24}{14} + \frac{3}{14} \]

Combine the fractions:

\[ -\frac{24}{14} + \frac{3}{14} = \frac{-24 + 3}{14} = \frac{-21}{14} \]

Now, simplify \(\frac{-21}{14}\):

\[ \frac{-21}{14} = -\frac{21 \div 7}{14 \div 7} = -\frac{3}{2} \]

So, the result of \(-\frac{12}{7} + \frac{3}{14}\) is:

\[ -\frac{3}{2} \]
