Question

-2 1/3+ 1 4/7 what is the solution of this equation?​

Answer 1

`-(16)/(21)`

Explanation:

lets organize the equation so it becomes easier to see

`-2(1)/(3) + 1(4)/(7)`

switch the spots so that it becomes even easier to read (this does not affect the result in any way)

`1(4)/(7)-2(1)/(3)`

now make them both improper fractions

`(11)/(7) -(7)/(3)`

and make them both have the same denominator (21)

`(33)/(21) -(49)/(21)`

and solve

(
`33-49= -16`)

`(33)/(21) -(49)/(21) =(-16)/(21)`

can we simplify
`(-16)/(21)`? does 16 and 21 have a common factor?

No.

so our result is

`-(16)/(21)` or 0.761904762
