\text{The answer is -}(11)/(12)

Here, we want to solve the given expression

To do this, we will follow the order in which the order of solution is to come

The order is; BODMAS

We start with bracket, order , division, multiplication, addition and subtraction

We start with the divison between the second and the third term

That would be;


(+3)/(4)*(-3)/(2)\text{ = }(-9)/(8)

From here, we can then proceed to add up/subtract the terms;


(5)/(8)-(9)/(8)-(5)/(6)

we proceed to get the lowest common multiple of the denominator

This is 24

We now divide 24 by each of the denominator and multiply each of the numerator by the result of the division

That would be;


(3(5)-3(9)-5(2))/(24)\text{ = }(15-27-10)/(24)\text{ = }(-22)/(24)\text{ =-}(11)/(12)
