Question
Evaluate: $\frac{7}{-26}+\frac{16}{39}$

Answer

$\frac{7}{-26}+\frac{16}{39}$
226,39
313,39
1313,13
1,1

L.C.M. of 26 and $39=2 \times 3 \times 13=78$
$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{-7 \times 3}{26 \times 3}+\frac{16 \times 2}{39 \times 2} \\ & (\because \text { L.C.M. of }-26 \text { and } 39=78) \end{aligned} $
$ =\frac{-21+32}{78}=\frac{11}{78}
