Answer:

2 2/9

Explanation:

First you need to eliminate the negatives and change the operation.

=−219+413

Then rewrite the equation with parts separated

=−2−19+4+13

Solve the whole number parts

−2+4=2

Solve the fraction parts

−19+13=?

Find the LCD (lowest common denominator) of 1/9 and 1/3 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions.

LCD = 9

−19+39=29

Combine the whole and fraction parts

2+29=229
