Evaluate: (-3) – (4/7)

Answer»

(-3) – (4/7)

We have:

= (-3/1) – (4/7)

= (-3/1) + (additive inverse of 4/7)

= (-3/1) + (-4/7)

LCM of 1 and 7 is 7

Express each of the given rational numbers with the above LCM as the common denominator.

Now,

= [(-3×7)/ (1×7)] = (-21/7)

= [(-4×1)/ (7×1)] = (-4/7)

Then,

= (-21/7) + (-4/7)

= (-21-4)/7

= (-25/7)
