| $$ \begin{aligned}-\frac{11}{5}+\frac{3}{5}& \xlongequal{ \color{blue}{ \text{\normalsize{ \htmlClass{explanationCircle explanationCircle1}{\textcircled {1}} } }}}-\frac{8}{5}\end{aligned} $$ | |
| ① | Add $ \dfrac{-11}{5} $ and $ \dfrac{3}{5} $ to get $ \dfrac{-8}{5} $. To add expressions with the same denominators, we add the numerators and write the result over the common denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{-11}{5} + \frac{3}{5} & = \frac{-11}{\color{blue}{5}} + \frac{3}{\color{blue}{5}} =\frac{ -11 + 3 }{ \color{blue}{ 5 }} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{-8}{5} \end{aligned} $$ |
