Math Problem Statement

-\dfrac{3}{7}+\left(-\dfrac{3}4\right)=

Solution

The expression to solve is:

37+(34)-\frac{3}{7} + \left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)

First, let's find a common denominator for 37\frac{3}{7} and 34\frac{3}{4}. The denominators are 7 and 4, so the least common denominator (LCD) is 28.

Next, convert each fraction:

37=3×47×4=1228-\frac{3}{7} = -\frac{3 \times 4}{7 \times 4} = -\frac{12}{28}

34=3×74×7=2128-\frac{3}{4} = -\frac{3 \times 7}{4 \times 7} = -\frac{21}{28}

Now, add the fractions:

1228+(2128)=12+2128=3328-\frac{12}{28} + \left(-\frac{21}{28}\right) = -\frac{12 + 21}{28} = -\frac{33}{28}

Thus, the final result is:

3328-\frac{33}{28}
