Question

`(-(5)/(4) - (2)/(3)) + (1)/(6)`
Please help me solve this.

Answer 1

- 7/4 Alternative form -1 3/4, -1.75

Answer 2

`→( - (5)/(4) - (2)/(3) ) + (1)/(6) \\ = ( (( - 15 - 8))/(12) ) + (1)/(6) \\ = ( - 23)/(12) + (1)/(6) \\ = ( (- 23 + 2))/(12) \\ = \boxed{ ( - 21)/(12) }✓`

• -21/12 is the right answer.
