Answer 2

-24/7

Explanation:

Hey there!

The question is asking us the problem in word form so first lets make this a number equation

-2 - 1 3/7 = x

Now, lets turn 1 3/7 into a improper fraction

-2 - 10/7 = x

Now we need to have a common denominator to make it easier to subtract

-14/7 - 10/7 = x

-24/7 = x

This is the answer
