Answer:

-5/6

Explanation:

Multiplying numerators and denominators to get the LCD in all fraction denominators

=−7×38×3−1×83×8+3×38×3

Then rewriting the equation with the equivalent fractions

=−2124−824+924

With like denominators we can operate on just the numerators

=−21−8+924

=−2024

Simplifying the answer

=−56
