Answer 2

The answer can be written in multiple forms listed below

`-(11)/(8)` or
`-1(3)/(8)` or
`-1.375`

Explanation:

Given
`-(3)/(4)+-(5)/(8)`.

A plus sign followed by a minus sign has the same mathematical meaning as a single minus sign.

`-(3)/(4)-(5)/(8)`

Write each expression with a common denominator of
`8`.

`4*2=8`

`(2(-3))/(2*4)-(5)/(8)`

`(2(-3))/(8)-(5)/(8)`

Multiply
`2` and
`-3`.

`(-6)/(8)-(5)/(8)`

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

`(-6-5)/(8)`

Subtract
`5` from
`-6`.

`(-11)/(8)`

The answer can be written as

`-(11)/(8)` or
`-1(3)/(8)` or
`-1.375`
