Answer:

Explanation:

5 2/3 + (-2 5/6)

$=(17)/(3)-(17)/(6)\\\\=(17*2)/(3*2)-(17)/(6)\\\\=(34)/(6)-(17)/(6)\\\\=(34-17)/(6)\\\\=(17)/(6)\\\\=2(5)/(6)$

2 5/6 + (- 1 3/4) = 2 5/6 - 1 3/4

$(17)/(6)-(7)/(4)\\\\=(17*2)/(6*2)-(7*3)/(4*3)\\\\=(34)/(12)-(21)/(12)\\\\=(34-21)/(12)\\\\=(13)/(12)\\\\=1(1)/(12)$
