-36/5-15/2
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{-36}{5} - \frac{15}{2}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ \frac{-36}{5} - \frac{15}{2} = - \frac{147}{10} = -14.7 \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{-36}{5}\) and \(\frac{-15}{2}\) is \(10\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{-36}{5} - \frac{15}{2} &= \frac{-36 \cdot 2}{5 \cdot 2} + \frac{-15 \cdot 5}{2 \cdot 5} \\ &= \frac{-72 + -75}{10} \\ &= \frac{-147}{10} \end{aligned} \]
