Step  1  :

            1
 Simplify   —
            6

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        10     1
  (0 -  ——) +  —
        7      6

Step  2  :

            10
 Simplify   ——
            7 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

        10     1
  (0 -  ——) +  —
        7      6

Step  3  :

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

 3.1    Find the Least Common Multiple

      The left denominator is :       7 

      The right denominator is :       6 

      Least Common Multiple:
      42 

Calculating Multipliers :

 3.2    Calculate multipliers for the two fractions


    Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M 
    Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M 
    Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M 
    Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno 
    Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno 

   Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 6

   Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 7

Making Equivalent Fractions :

 3.3      Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent,  y/(y+1)²   and  (y²+y)/(y+1)³  are equivalent as well.

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

   L. Mult. • L. Num.      -10 • 6
   ——————————————————  =   ———————
         L.C.M               42   

   R. Mult. • R. Num.       7
   ——————————————————  =   ——
         L.C.M             42

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 3.4       Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 -10 • 6 + 7     -53
 ———————————  =  ———
     42          42 

Final result :

  -53            
  ——— = -1.26190 
  42
