Note that the LCD is 15. Both 5 and 3 divide evenly into 15.

Thus, the expression can be rewritten as -12 6/15 - 6 10/15.

This is actually a problem in addition, because there are two " - " signs.

Rewrite -12 6/15 - 6 10/15 vertically:

-12 6/15

- 6 10/15

--------------

-18 16/15, or -19 1/15 (answer)
