Answer:

the answer is -1/2 or -0.5

Explanation:

We solve this with PEMDAS (Parenthesis, exponents, divisions, multiplication, subtraction, addition) so we break it down into steps by doing one equation at a time.

So we look at the problem and see that there is just additions and subraction (which have equal importance in the hierarchy of PEMDAS) so we start solving left to right

so we do (-3/4)+(-2) of the total equation first

which gives us the equation now -11/4 - 1/2 + 2 + 3/4

now we do 11/4 - 1/2 which is -13/4

so the equation now is -13/4 + 2 + 3/4

now we add -13/4 + 2 which is -5/4

so now the equation is -5/4 + 3/4 which is -2/4 which simplest to -1/2 or - 0.5

Hope this helps
