I'm taking this question to mean 9/7 + -2 and 3/14, not -23/14
Ok, you need to find the common denomonator. Since 7 goes into 14 evenly, and 3/14 is already 14, it will be easy to just make them both 14.
9/7 x 2/2 = 18/14
So now your question is 18/14 + -2 3/14
It's easier to change your complex fraction (-2 3/14) into an improper fraction. In this case, 14/14 = 1, so 28/14 = 2. Make it negative, since your original number is negative. Now add the additional 3/14. Now you have - 31/14
Your final question is now
18/14 + -31/14
Anything plus a negative number is the same as subracting the second number.
So 18/14 - 31/14 =
-13/14
Which is your answer.,
Hope that helps

Use the slash key to denote fractions. Use parentheses to make it clear.
Is it 9/7 + -23/14, or is it 9/7 + -(2)(3/14)?
This is really simple. Just find the least common denominator, then add the numbers.
Remember that adding a negative is the same as subtracting.
So 5 + -3 = 5-3 = 2.

Ok I'll show you this time and explain it to you:
9/7 + -23/14 =? correct since addition you have to get a common denominator first thing. ok can't reduce -23/14 any more can we? so we are going to have to work with 9/7
Looking at it we see that 7 X 2 will equal 14 correct:
in this case we multiply both 9 and 7 by 2:
9*2 = 18
7* 2 = 14
Next step write them in fraction form
18/14 denominator now same as denominator in -23/14.
In other words we now have a common denominator so we can add or subtract as needed correct?
18/14 + - 23/14 =?
Now you need to review the laws of signed numbers and get them in you head good or you are going to be dead in the water:
Next step: since 14 is the common denominator we can rewrite the problem:
18 + -23
------------
.....14
that makes it easier to see when working with signed numbers:
18 + -23 Now your 23 is a negative number and your 18 is a positive number: Keep in mind when sign is not shown it is a positive number:
When adding numbers with unlike signs you take the difference of the two numbers and use the sign of the number with the highest absolute value.
18 + -23 take difference (subtract) - 5
-----------
.....14
so answer is:
- 5
---
14
or written in shilling fraction form - 5/14
hope that helped:

I will advice you start loving MATHS,it may change your life.
Now 9/7 +(-2)(3/14)
or 9/7 -31/14
or 18/14-31/14(multiplyiny & dividing the 1st no.by 2)
or-13/14 ans
But if you mean 9/7+(-23/14)
or 9/7-23/14
or 18/14-23/14
or -5/14 ans

9/7 -23/14 = a
but both fractions to a common denominator
18/14 -23/14 =a
(18 - 23) /14 =a
-5/14 = a

seem on the main suitable and left edge of each proportion. what's 4 to 12? 4 is a million 0.33 of twelve. 12/3 is 4. 9/3 is p. 9/3 is 3. consequently, p=3. happy to help! merely seem for that relationship and you'll be wonderful!

I would have helped... but you hate math so I wont. The reason why you suck and arent trying IS because you hate it. You have chosen not to be interested and not to give it your time.
