Question

$$- \frac{ 8 }{ 19 } + \frac{ (-2) }{ 57 }$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{26}{57}\approx -0.456140351$

Solution Steps

Fraction $\frac{-2}{57}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{2}{57}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{8}{19}-\frac{2}{57}$$

Least common multiple of $19$ and $57$ is $57$. Convert $-\frac{8}{19}$ and $\frac{2}{57}$ to fractions with denominator $57$.

$$-\frac{24}{57}-\frac{2}{57}$$

Since $-\frac{24}{57}$ and $\frac{2}{57}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-24-2}{57}$$

Subtract $2$ from $-24$ to get $-26$.

$$-\frac{26}{57}$$

Factor

$-\frac{26}{57} = -0.45614035087719296$
