Answer:

The answer is


- 9 (1)/(4)

Explanation:

First convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

That's


- 5 (3)/(4) - 3 (1)/(2)

is


- (23)/(4) - (7)/(2)

Find the LCM

The LCM is 4

Simplify

We have


- (23)/(4) - (7)/(2) = ( - 23 - 14)/(4)


= - (37)/(4)


= - 9 (1)/(4)

Hope this helps you
