The document provides steps for subtracting and adding fractions. It explains that to subtract fractions, you find a common factor, cross multiply the terms, and then subtract them. The difference is then placed over the product of the original denominators. An example problem subtracts 9/5 - 4/3 and gets 7/12. For adding fractions, the same steps are followed except the terms are added instead of subtracted. An example adds 11/3 + 5/4 and gets 53/60.
