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

Step-by-step explanation

`-6(1)/(2)+5`

remember how to convert mixed numbers into fractions

`a(b)/(c)=((a\cdot c)+b)/(c)`

Step 2

when you add 2 fractions numbers:

`(a)/(b)\cdot(c)/(d)=((a\cdot d)+(b\cdot c))/(b\cdot d)`

then,Add the numbers

`\begin{gathered} -6(1)/(2)+5 \\ -(13)/(2)+(5)/(1)=(-13\cdot1+2\cdot5)/(2\cdot1)=(-13+10)/(2)=-(3)/(2) \\ \\ -6(1)/(2)+5=-(3)/(2) \end{gathered}`

I hope this helps you.
