Make all fractions improper, make the denominators the same, perform the addition and subtraction.

Explanation:

First, make the third fraction improper by multiplying 33 by 11 and adding 11. So, it will turn out to be

1 1/3 = (3 xx 1 + 1)/3 = 4/3113=3×1+13=43

So 1212 will be our common denominator.

Multiply 35/6356 times 2/222 in order to make the denominator equal to twelve. Likewise, multiply 4/343 times 4/444 to make the denominator equal to twelve.

35/6 xx 2/2 = 70/12356×22=7012

4/3 xx 4/4 = 16/1243×44=1612

Once this is done, you have all your fractions under a common denominator, and you can now add and subtract.

70/12 + 7/12 - 16/3 = (70 + 7 - 16)/12 = 61/127012+712163=70+71612=6112

This result cannot be simplified further as 6161 and 1212 do not have common factors. So, your result would end up being 61/126112.
