Answer 1

the answer is 7.33

Explanation:

I used a calculator

Answer 2

7
`(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

1
`(2)/(3)` -
`-5(2)/(3)`

Multiply 1 and 3 to get 3.

`(3+2)/(3)` -
`(-(5x3+2)/(3) )`

Add 3 and 2 to get 5.

`(5)/(3)` -
`(-(5x3+2)/(3) )`

Multiply 5 and 3 to get 15.

`(5)/(3)` -
`(-(15+2)/(3))`

Add 15 and 2 to get 17.

`(5)/(3)` - (-
`(17)/(3)`)

The opposite of -
`(17)/(3)` is
`(17)/(3)`

`(5)/(3) + (17)/(3)`

Since
`(5)/(3)` and
`(17)/(3)` have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

`(5+17)/(3)`

Add 5 and 17 to get 22.

`(22)/(3)`

Simplify

`(2 x11)/(3) = 7(1)/(3)`
