-3/4 +2/5
-------------
Find a common denominator. The product always works, even if it's not the LCD (Least Common Denominator). Schools are obesessed with the LCD for no good reason.
----------
4*5 = 20, the common denominator (also the LCD)
-----------
-3/4 +2/5 = -15/20 + 8/20
= (-15 + 8)/20
= -7/20
