Answer:
2
Explanation:
The easiest thing is to convert it to an improper fraction.
-2 1/9 turns into -19/9. -4 1/9 turns into -37/9.
-19/9 - (-37/9) here you would add because you are subtracting a negative number.
-19/9 + 37/9 change it to positive and then add.
-19+37=18
it was 18/9. that simplified is 2.
