Answer:

-1/4x-2

Explanation:

Let's combine the like terms!

2 1/2 is equal to 5/2, so we can express the expression like this

(5/2x-11/4x)+(-7+5)

If we solve the first parentheses, we get 10/4x-11/4x=-1/4x

The second parentheses are obviously -2

Therefore, the answer is -1/4x-2.

Feel free to tell me if I did anything wrong! :)
