Question
Simplify:
$\frac{-11}{39}+\frac{5}{26}+\frac{2}{1}$

Answer

$\frac{-11}{39}+\frac{5}{26}+\frac{2}{1}$
LCM of 39 and 26 = 78
$\begin{array}{c|c}13&39,26\\\hline&3,2\end{array}$
$\therefore\text{ LCM}=13\times3\times2=78$
$\frac{-11}{39}=\frac{-11\times2}{39\times2}=\frac{-22}{78}$
$\frac{5}{26}=\frac{5\times3}{26\times3}=\frac{15}{78}$
$\frac{2}{1}=\frac{2\times78}{1\times78}=\frac{156}{78}$
$\therefore\frac{-11}{39}+\frac{5}{26}+\frac{2}{1}$
$=\frac{-22}{78}+\frac{15}{78}+\frac{156}{78}$
$=\frac{-22+15+156}{78}$
$=\frac{-22+171}{78}$
$=\frac{149}{78}$
