no, to add and subtract like and unlike fractions the denominator has to be the same,
When do you use LCM in math?
When you want to add or subtract unlike fractions.
How do you subtract fractions without alike denominators?
Convert unlike fractions to equivalent fractions with common denominators by finding the LCM of the denominators.
What are the steps to subtracting fractions?
Same as for addition. Mainly, you have to convert the fractions to equivalent fractions that have the same denominator. After that, it is easy: just subtract the numerators and put the result on top of the common denominator.
How do you add or subtract fractions with unlike denominators?
convert at least one of them so that they have the same denominator, then proceed with the addition or subtraction

Why is it important to find the LCM of 2 numbers?
It will help when you want to add and subtract unlike fractions.
How do you subtract Fractions with models unlike denominators?
The denominators need to be the same for subtraction. Find the Least Common Denominator for both items and then subtract.
