3/4(-10+2/5)

first do parenthesis

factor out -1 inside the parenthesis

3/4 * (-1*(10-2/5))

borrow from the 10

3/4 * (-1*( 9 5/5-2/5))

3/4 * -1(9 3/5)

change the mixed number to an improper fraction

3/4 * -1 ((5*9+3)/5)

3/4 * -1(48/5)

3/4 * (-48/5)

-144/20

divide by 4

-36/5

-7 r 1

-7 1/5
