To subtract fractions with different denominators, you first have to find the equivalent fractions that have equal denominators. In this case, you can multiply top and bottom of 5/12 by 7 to give 35/84. You can multiply top and bottom of 4/7 by 12 to give 48/84. Thus the question can be rewritten as 35/84 - 48/84. This is just a straight subtraction which gives the answer -13/84
