/ is the division sign which is the same thing as the 'fraction sign'
-27/30 + 5/30 = (-27 + 5) / 30 = -22/30 = -11/15
Confusion is understandable at first because there are two symbols for division...
the fraction 3/4 actually is the same thing as 3 divided by 4 = .75
the fraction (9x+3)/(4+x) is actually the same thing, (just written differently), as (9x+3) divided by (4+x)
Do you see? Hope so!
