Answer:

-4½

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:


-3(5)/(6)-(2(1)/(3))

We can rewrite the expression in the form below:


=-3-(5)/(6)-2-(1)/(3)

Reorder the terms:


=-3-2-(1)/(3)-(5)/(6)

Simplify:


\begin{gathered} =-5-(2-5)/(6) \\ =-5-(-3)/(6) \\ =-5+(1)/(2) \\ =-4(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

The result is -4½.
