Answer:


1(1)/(6) or
(7)/(6)

Explanation:

Okay, let's see the equation.


-(2)/(6) +
(3)/(2)

  1. We want common denominators, so let's say it is
    -(2)/(6) +
    (9)/(6).
  2. Since it is adding integer fractions, subtract and keep the largest absolute value's symbol. So, it will be
    (9)/(6) -
    (2)/(6).
  3. Subtract.
  4. The answer in improper will be
    (7)/(6), which is also known as
    1(1)/(6).
