Answer:


-2(-1)/(2)

Explanation:

To distribute the -6, multiply every numerator by -6, this gets you

-6/4+12/3-30/6

To put these together, they all need to have a common denominator. We can make all of the denomiators 12 by multiplying the numerator by whatever we multiply the denominators by to get 12.

-18/12+48/12-60/12

This gets you -30/12

To make this a proper fraction, divide -30 by 12 and put the whole number to the left of the fraction (-2), making a mixed number. The remainder stays a fraction which is -6/12. This reduces down to -1/2. Put -2 and -1/2 together to get
-2(-1)/(2)
