Answer:


-(1)/(21)

Explanation:

The opposite of -2\3 is 2\3

-

-5\7 + 2\3

Least common multiple of 7 and 3 is 21. Convert -5\7 and 2\3 to fractions with denominator 21.

-

-15\21 + 14\21

Sinse -15\21 and 14\21 have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.


(-15+14)/(21)

-

Add −15 and 14 to get −1.

-1\21
