Answer:

Remove the parentheses, use LCM (least common multiplier), adjust fractions based on the LCM, since denominators are equal, combine the fractions, subtract. Your answer would be: -5/12.

Explanation:

Steps to the words I said but in fraction step:

3/4 + (-1/2) + (-2/3)

3/4 - 1/2 - 2/3

9/12 - 6/12 - 8/12

9-6-8/12

-5/12
