Answer :

Answer:

Simplifying the expression gives;

[tex]-\frac{9}{20}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given the fraction;

[tex]-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Simplifying, the Lowest common multiple of the denominators 4 and 5 is;

[tex]4\times5=20[/tex]

So, we have;

[tex]\begin{gathered} -\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{5} \\ \frac{-5-4}{20}=-\frac{9}{20} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, simplifying the expression gives;

[tex]-\frac{9}{20}[/tex]
