Type in your answer as a reduced mixed number with the negative in front of the whole number -8 3/4+ -11 1/3

Answer 1

Hello!

Your answer is -20 1/12

Answer 2

`-8(3)/(4)+\left(-11(1)/(3)\right)=-\left(8(3\cdot3)/(4\cdot3)+11(1\cdot4)/(3\cdot4)\right)\\\\=-\left(8(9)/(12)+11(4)/(12)\right)=-\left[(8+11)+\left((9)/(12)+(4)/(12)\right)\right]\\\\=-\left(19+(13)/(12)\right)=-\left(19+1(1)/(12)\right)=-20(1)/(12)`
