    Remove parentheses.

    -3/8 - 1/6

    Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of 3/8, 1/6. In other words, find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8,6.

    LCD=24

    Make the denominators the same as the LCD.

    - 3x3/8x3 - 1x4/6x4

    Simplify. Denominators are now the same

    -9/24 - 4/24

    Join the denominators

    -9-4/24

    Simplify

    -13/24
