Answer:

(-3)/(2)-(2-(3)/(8))+(3)/(2)=(-13)/(8)

Explanation:

We need to find the value of expression
(-3)/(2)-(2-(3)/(8))+(3)/(2) .

Firstly solving the second term as :

(2-(3)/(8))=(16-3)/(8)=(13)/(8)

Now the above expression becomes,

$(-3)/(2)-(2-(3)/(8))+(3)/(2)\\=(-3)/(2)-(13)/(8)+(3)/(2)$

-3/2 and +3/2 equals 0.

It means that,
(-3)/(2)-(2-(3)/(8))+(3)/(2)=(-13)/(8)
