Answer:

- 95/18

Explanation:

1st you have to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction so 2 ×6 = 12 +1 = 13 and that together equals 13/6 same goes for the next take away the parentheses 13/6 - 8/3 - 4 7/9

then you have to do the same thing with the 1st fraction convert it 4 × 9 = 36 + 7 = 43 that equals together 43/9

lastly you have to calculate the difference 13/6 - 8/3 - 43/9 and that equals negative 95/18

by the way the 95 isnt a negative the fraction itself is
