Answer:

1.73333333 (the 3 repeats)

Explanation:

First you have to follow PEMDAS so your first step is divide -5 by -2 (-2/-5) which gives you 0.4

Then you do the other parentheses and divide 3 by 4 (4/3) which gives you 1.3 repeating

Then you add 0.4 and 1.3 repeating and you get

1.73 repeating
