Answer:

-2 or -14/7 (they're the same)

Explanation:

  1. Write it out:
    -3(2)/(7) - (-(5)/(7))
  2. Simplify. It should now look like this:
    -3(2)/(7) + (5)/(7)
  3. Turn -3 2/7 into an improper fraction. It should now look like this: -19/7
  4. Add:
    -(19)/(7) + (5)/(7) = -(14)/(7) = -2

I hope this helps!
