Answer:


- (25)/(12)

Explanation:

Hi there! This is something easy.

We have the fractions:
- (1 )/(3) + - (7)/(4)

Take the LCM of the denominators, then, divide the LCM obtained by each denominator and multiply the results by their numerators. ( always observe and mind the mathematical signs especially the minus sign).


( - 4 + ( - 21))/(12)


( - 4 - 21)/(12) = - (25)/(12)

Therefore:
- (25)/(12) is the final answer.

I hope this helps.
