===============================================

"What is
-(8)/(9)-1(5)/(18) ?" - Solution and Explanation

===============================================

Factor out common term -1.


=-((8)/(9) +1(5)/(18))

Add whole numbers 0 + 1 = 1.

Combine fractions
(8)/(9) +(5)/(18) =(7)/(6) .


=-(1+(7)/(6) )

Convert the improper fractions to mixed numbers:


(7)/(6) =1(1)/(6)


=-(1+1(1)/(6) )

Add the numbers 1 + 1 = 2


=-2(1)/(6) Final Solution

Hope this helps!
