Answer 2

-2/45

Explanation:

First, make term a into an improper fraction:

`a=1(3)/(5) =(8)/(5)`

Now, plug in all terms to the equation:

`(-|(8)/(5)+(-2)|)/(2-(-7))`

Simplify the Numerator:

`(-|-(2)/(5)| )/(2-(-7))`

Note that the absolute value of a negative value is the same positive value:

`(-|(2)/(5)| )/(2-(-7))`

Simplify the Denominator:

`(-|(2)/(5)| )/(9)`

Now Simplify: (You can remove the absolute value at this point)

`(-(2)/(5) )/((9)/(1) )`

Simplify:

`-(2)/(5)*(1)/(9)=(-2)/(45)`

Therefore, your anwer is -2/45
