I think it might be -2 1/11 1. -4 5/11+2 4/11 2. 4+2=−2
Solving the fraction parts
−5/11+4/11=−1/11
Combining the whole and fraction parts
−2−1/11=−2 1/11
Solution by Formulas
First:
Convert any mixed numbers to fractions.
Then your initial equation becomes:
−49/11+26/11
Applying the fractions formula for addition,
=(−49×11)+(26×11)11×11
=−539+286=121
=−253/121
Simplifying -253/121, the answer is
=−2 1/11
