It’s negative -17/6 or -2.83 in decimal form. Hope that helps you out! :)

Answer:

-2 5/6

Explanation:

First, you have to change the fraction 2/3 to have a common denominator with 1/6. 2/3 x 2/2 = 4/6.

Second, now your equation is -2 1/6 + ( -4/6 ).

Third, you have to add -2 1/6 and -4/6 which gets you -2 5/6

Hope this helps!
