-12/7 + (3/14) = what

Answer 1

To solve the expression $-\frac{12}{7}+\frac{3}{14}$, we first need to find a common denominator.

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

Now we can rewrite $-\frac{12}{7}$ with the denominator of 14:

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

Now we can add the two fractions:

$$-\frac{24}{14}+\frac{3}{14}=\frac{-24+3}{14}=\frac{-21}{14}$$

Now, we can simplify $\frac{-21}{14}$:

$$\frac{-21}{14}=\frac{-21÷7}{14÷7}=\frac{-3}{2}$$

Thus, the final result is:

$$-\frac{3}{2}$$
