Find the sum or difference. - 5/14 - (- 9/10) When you subtract a -, you add.
\n" ); document.write( "-5/14+9/10 In order to add or subtract fractions, you need a common denominator, if you don't know that 70 is the smallest number that both 14 and 10 go into evenly, you can factor both denominators.
\n" ); document.write( "14=2*7
\n" ); document.write( "10=2*5
\n" ); document.write( "LCD=2*5*7=70
\n" ); document.write( "Whatever you do to the denominators you must do to the numerators.
\n" ); document.write( "\"-5%2A5%2F%2814%2A5%29%2B9%2A7%2F%2810%2A7%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-25%2F70%2B63%2F70\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28-25%2B63%29%2F70\" If the signs aren't the same, subtract the numbers and keep the sign of the biggest number.
\n" ); document.write( "\"38%2F70\" Both numbers are even, so reduce the top and bottom by 2.
