Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To subtract fractions with different denominators, first find a common denominator, which in this case is 36. Convert each fraction: $\frac{2}{9} = \frac{8}{36}$ and $-\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right) = \frac{3}{4} = \frac{27}{36}$. Then, $\frac{8}{36} + \frac{27}{36} = \frac{35}{36}$.
