Math Answers

This problem requires you to create common denominators. The least common multiple of 6 and 10 is 30, so we will multiple the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 5 and the numerator and denominator of the second fraction by 3 in order to get common denominators. -1/6 = (-1/6)(5/5) = -5/30 3/10 = (3/10)(3/3) = 9/30 Once we have common denominators, we can simply add the fractions together. -5/30 + 9/30 = 4/30 Since 4 and 30 are both divisible by 2, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 2 to get the simplified fraction. 4/30 = 2/15 Therefore, the final answer is 2/15. I hope you found this answer helpful. Have an amazing day! :)
