Yes, eg 13/17 - 4/17 = 9/17
You add or subtract only the numerators
Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions. If the fractions have the same denominator, you subtract the numerators. If the fractions have different denominators, you have to convert to a common denominator first.Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions.

No. If the denominators are the same, you subtract the numerators. If the denominators are different you have to find the least common denominator.
Find a common denominator (make sure you multiply BOTH the numerator and the denominator) then subtract the numerators and simplify if necessary.
If the denominators are the same, subtract the numerators. If the denominators are different, convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator and subtract the numerators.
You subtract the numerators, and place it over the common denominator.
In order to subtract two rational expressions by simply subtracting their numerators you must make sure that their denominators are equal.
When subtracting you have to make sure that the second numerator is multiplied by -1 so the equation turns into adding. When you add and you already have a common denominator you add the numerators and leave the denominator the same.
Just subtract the numerators and copy the denominator

You need to find the common denominator in order to add or subtract them. You can only add or subtract "like things" and by finding a common denominator you make both rational expressions into things that can be added or subtracted.
If the denominators are the same, subtract the numerators. If the denominators are different, convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator and subtract the numerators.
Just simply add/subtract the numerators then copy the denominator.
How is doing operations (adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing) with rational expressions similar to or different from doing operations with fractions?If you know how to do arithmetic with rational numbers you will understand the arithmetic with rational functions! Doing operations (adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing) is very similar. When you areadding or subtracting they both require a common denominator. When multiplying or dividing it works the same for instance reducing by factoring. Operations on rational expressions is similar to doing operations on fractions. You have to come up with a common denominator in order to add or subtract. To multiply the numerators and denominators separated. In division you flip the second fraction and multiply. The difference is that rational expressions can have variable letters and powers in them.
