Solution

Simplify the given expression.

Step 1: Convert the given fractions into like fractions.

Like fractions.

Fractions with the same denominators are called like fractions.

The given fractions are 37, 121 and 114.

The LCM of 7, 21 and 14 is 42. Therefore,

37=3×67×6=1842

121=1×221×2=242

114=1×314×3=342

Step 2: Substitute the obtained like fractions into the given expression and solve.

37+121-114=1842+242-342=18+2-342=1742

Hence, 37+121-114=1742.
