(-) + (-)= ...
(-) x (-)= ...
(-) divided by a (-)= ... - Answer -(-)
(+)
(+)
quotient - Answer -division
adding and subtracting fractions - Answer --make denoms the same
-add/subtract numerators

set up as if you're subtracting two large numbers (on top and on bottom)
how to solve problems like 5-2 (1/3) - Answer -1) make problem 5- (2 (1/3))
2) separate : 5- 2- (1/3) to get: 3- (1/3)
3) rewrite whole #: 2+1- (1/3)
4) rewrite as: 2 + (3/3) - (1/3) to ed up with:
2 (2/3)
inequality problem rule (<, >, etc like problems) - Answer -When *multiplying/dividing*
each side by a *positive* number, the inequality sign *stays the same*
