Embarrased, but I can't remember -

[mathmoron]

I can't remember how to solve this very simple problem. Please help -

6/7 + (-1/3) =

I know I need a common denom but I can't remember what to do with the negative fraction. I know it is something.

Thanks in advance and allow me to hide in shame.

6/7 + (-1/3) = 18/21 + (-7/21) = 11/21...wow...that is shameful /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Sephus]

18/21 - 7/21 = 11/21

[ojc02]

Multiply the denominators together and multiply each fractions numerator by the others denominator:

6/7 - 1/3
= 18/21 - 7/21
= 11/21

OP,

you shouldn't ask the forum to do your 5th grade math hw for you.

[alphatmw]

over/under on OP's age?
over/under on the number of posts in OP's real screenname?

[The Dude]

It really bugs me when people make up secondary account to post these things. It's an internet forum, for God's sake. How much more anonymous can you get?

The Dude,

I'm pretty sure the OP is DS.

You're like, 5th-leveling this? I'm so confused.

To be fair OP, I'd probably make a new account too if I forgot how to do addition.
