Answer:

The answer is -1/6.

Explanation:

First, we must multiply 4/9 and 3/4 which gives us 12/36 which simplifies to 1/3.

Next, we find the common denominators of -1/2 and 1/3 which is 6.

Then, we try and make it to where our denominators are equal, -3/6 + 2/6.

Finally, we add. -3/6 + 2/6 = -1/6

Therefore, our answer is -1/6.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

  • -1/6

Explanation:

According to BODMAS, we can say that brackets is always first. Let's solve the brackets first.

  • => -1/2 + (3/4 x 4/9)
  • => -1/2 + (12/36)
  • => -1/2 + 1/3

Next, addition or subtraction. Let's solve to get our result.

  • => -1/2 + 1/3
  • => -3/6 + 2/6
  • => -1/6

Hence, -1/6 is the answer.
