Answer:

-62/7

Explanation:

Convert -8 into a fraction with a common denominator of 7.

-8 can be written as -56/7 because -8 equals -56/7 when expressed as a fraction.

Now, you have the expression in fraction form:

-56/7 - 6/7.

Since the denominators are the same (both are 7), you can subtract the numerators directly:

(-56 - 6) / 7

Perform the subtraction in the numerator:

-62 / 7

So, the correct solution to -8 - 6/7 is -62/7. If you want a decimal approximation, it's approximately -8.8571 when rounded to four decimal places.
