Find the LCM (least common multiple) of 5 and 4.
5 = ...........5
4 = 2 x 2
-----------------------
...= 2 x 2 x 5
...= 20

-4/5 + 3/4
= (-4 * 4)/(5 * 4) + (3 * 5)/(4 * 5)
= -16/20 + 15/20
= -1/20

But this is NOT what you mean !

You mean :-

- 4 / 5 + 3 / 4

- 16 / 20 + 15 / 20

- 1 / 20

first get a common denominator and then do simple addition. You end up with
-16/20 + 15/20 = -1/20.

Look for a common denominator, in this case, the common denominator for 5 and 4 is 20

so -4 over 5 is also -16 over 20
and 3 over 4 is also 15 over 20

Now that you have a common denominator for both, just compute for the numerator.

-16 over 20 + 15 over 20 = -1 over 20

A

change both to have 20 in bottom line ie

-16 / 20 and 15 / 20
