Solve the following$\frac{5}{7}+\frac{2}{11}+\frac{-8}{7}+\frac{6}{11} $


Given: $\frac{5}{7}+\frac{2}{11}+\frac{-8}{7}+\frac{6}{11} $

To do: Solve the expression denominators are different, to make the same,

take LCM,

LCM of 7 and 11 is 77

$\frac{5\times11}{ 7\times11}  +  \frac{2\times7}{ 11\times7}  -  \frac{8\times11}{ 7\times11} + \frac{6\times7}{ 11\times7}$

$\frac{55}{77} + \frac{14}{77} - \frac{88}{77} + \frac{42}{77}$

Now the denominators are same,  so add the numerators directly,

$55 + 14 - 88 + \frac{42}{77}$

$\frac{111 - 88}{  77}$


So, the value of the expression is $\frac{23}{ 77}$ .
