I am stuck

5/3 + (-7/5)

I know the bottom number needs to be 15 in each fraction, but I do not remember the other steps. Can someone walk me through this type of problem

Thanks

So, you just subtract the top two numbers in the top of the fractions and put them over 15 which is your answer. In this case it would be

25 - 21
---------
15
