Make sure they have all common denominators 4 2 ​ + 5 4 ​ − 10 7 ​
4 2 ​ ∗ 5 5 ​ = 20 10 ​
5 4 ​ ∗ 4 4 ​ = 20 16 ​
10 7 ​ ∗ 2 2 ​ = 20 14 ​
20 10 ​ + 20 16 ​ − 20 14 ​
Add 20 10 ​ + 20 16 ​ = 20 26 ​ 20 26 ​ − 20 14 ​ = 20 12 ​
To simplify, you must find the largest common factor which 4 In 20 12 ​ 12÷4=3 and 20÷4=5
The answer is 5 3 ​
