Make the fractions equivalent then subtract
You cannot add or subtract fractions with different denominators. If the denominators are different then you need to work with equivalent fractions.
If the fractions have the same denominator, add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible. If the fractions have different denominators, find the LCM of the denominators and convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with like denominators. Then add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible.
no, to add and subtract like and unlike fractions the denominator has to be the same,
In fractions, you can NEVER add or subtract
Make the fractions equivalent then subtract
Because to add or subtract two fractions you first have to find equivalent fractions for both which have the same denominator.
it stay the same when you subtract fractions and when you add fractions.

You need a common denominator in order to add or subtract fractions.
If the fractions have the same denominator, add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible.

Change each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the same denominator. 3/8+5/12= 9/24+10/24=19/24
