5 (1)/(3) + ( - 3 (9)/(18)) = (16)/(3) - (63)/(18) \\ = (96 - 63)/(18) = (33)/(18) = 1 (15)/(18)


good luck

5 1/3 + (-3 9/18

Change both to same denominator: 18

5 1/3 = 5 6/18
-3 9/18 = -3 9/18

5 6/18 + (-3 9/18)
----------↓----------
5 6/18 - 3 9/18

5 6/18 = 4 24/18

4 24/18 - 3 9/18 = 1 15/18

1 15/18 = 1 5/6

Your answer is 1 5/6

Hope this helps :)
