Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

= \frac{2}{12} - \frac{7}{12}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{c} - \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a - b}{c}

= \frac{2 - 7}{12}

Subtract the numbers:

2 - 7 = - 5

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{5}{12}

9 m^{2} + 5 = - 7 m

(\frac{4}{9})^{- 2}

2 0^{2} + b^{2} = 2 9^{2}

c - 12 > - 16

x^{2} - 7 x + 11 = 1
