Hello! And thank you for your question!

First to make the question more easy to understand. We are going to make these three fractions improper fractions.

To do this I will give an example. 3 1/6. Do 6*3+1=19/6

Equation after made improper:

19/6 + 74/9 - 3/2

Now that we have this we can find the answer!

-------------------------------------

Work:

First you are going to find the LCD. And change all the numbers denominators to that LCD.

LCD = 18

Equation After incorporating LCD:

57/18 + 148/18 - 27/18

Second we are going to add all of the numerators together to get:

178/18.

Then simplify 178/18 to get:

89/9

Then convert 89/9 to a mixed fraction:

9 8/9

Final Answer:

9 8/9
