\huge\text{Hey there!}


\huge\textbf{The formula for converting a mixed}\\\huge\textbf{fraction to improper fraction is:}


\mathbf{Original\ equation: a (b)/(c)}


\mathbf{Convert\ to: (a* c + b)/(c)}


\mathbf{Simplifying\ it: (ac + b)/(c)}


\mathbf{Results\ to: (acb)/(c)}


\huge\textbf{Now that we have a(n) easier way}\\\huge\textbf{into solving for the given equation.}


\huge\textbf{Let's begin now!}


\mathbf{-4 (2)/(5)}


\mathbf{= (-4*5 + 2)/(5)}


\mathbf{= (-20 + 2)/(5)}


\mathbf{= (-20 - 2)/(5)}


\mathbf{= (-22)/(5)}


\mathbf{= -(22)/(5)}


\huge\textbf{Found the result to the equation}\huge\boxed{\bf\downarrow}


\huge\text{Thus, your answer should be: \boxed{\mathsf{Option\ C. \ -(22)/(5)}}}\huge\checkmark


\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}
