First find common denominators.
-1/2
-3/5
Multiply 5 to numerator and denominator of (-1/2), and 2 to numerator and denominator for (-3/5).
(-1/2)(5/5) - 3/5(2/2)
Simplify:
-5/10 - 6/10
Combine terms.
-5 - 6 = -11
-11/10, or - 1 1/10 is your answer
hope this helps
-1/2
-3/5
Multiply 5 to numerator and denominator of (-1/2), and 2 to numerator and denominator for (-3/5).
(-1/2)(5/5) - 3/5(2/2)
Simplify:
-5/10 - 6/10
Combine terms.
-5 - 6 = -11
-11/10, or - 1 1/10 is your answer

So, since these two fractions do not have like denominators, we need to find one. To do this, you can just multiply the denominators of -1/2 and -3/5 to get a like denominator...like 10.
Now, you need to fix the numerators.
What times 2 makes 10? 5!
So, multiply -1*5=-5.
Now, what times 5 makes 10? 2!
So, multiply -3*2=-6.
Now just solve -5/10-6/10=-11/10 or -1 and 1/10.
