Question

Does anybody know how to solve this?? 5 + (-3 -2/3) I alr have the answer which is -7 I just need the work

Answer 1

4/3

Explanation:

`\displaystyle 5+\biggr(-3-(2)/(3)\biggr)\\\\=(15)/(3)+\biggr(-(9)/(3)-(2)/(3)\biggr)\\\\=(15)/(3)-(11)/(3)\\\\=(4)/(3)`

By making each term have a denominator of 3, it's easier to combine like terms because of the -2/3 term. Not sure how you got -7, but this is how you would solve the problem.
