Answer 1

-2 1/10

Explanation:

Answer 2

`\large\boxed{-(23)/(9)=-2(5)/(9)}`

Explanation:

`\text{Put}\ w=-(5)/(9)\ \text{and}\ x=(4)/(3)\ \text{to the expression}\ w+(-x)-(2)/(3):\\\\-(5)/(9)-(4)/(3)-(2)/(3)=-(5)/(9)-(4\cdot3)/(3\cdot3)-(2\cdot3)/(3\cdot3)\\\\=-(5)/(9)-(12)/(9)-(6)/(9)=-(23)/(9)=-2(5)/(9)`
