Answer:
1 31/36 is your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Find common denominators. Note that what you do to the denominator, you must do to the numerator;
(-7/18)(2/2) = (-14/36)
(-9/4)(9/9) = (-81/36)
Combine the terms:
(-14/36) - (-81/36)
Note that two negative signs directly next to each other equals a positive sign.
(-14/36) + 81/36
-14/36 + 81/36
(-14 + 81)/36
Combine like terms. Solve the parenthesis:
(67)/36
Change to a mixed fraction:
(67/36) = 1 31/36
1 31/36 is your answer.
