Respuesta :
The answer is 5 5/6 simplified to the max.
rewrite the equation with separated parts
-3 1/2 - 2 1/3
-3 - 2 = -5
-1/2 - 1/3? u need to find the LEAST common denominator
-3/6 - 2/6 = -5/6
how did I get 6?
Rewriting input as fractions if necessary:
1/2, 1/3
For the denominators (2, 3) the least common multiple (LCM) is 6.
Therefore, the least common denominator (LCD) is 6.
Now lastly combine them total and its -5 - 5/6 = -5 5/6.

Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions
-7/2 - 7/3
Multiply until both fractions have the same common denominator
-21/6 - 14/6
Subtract the numerators but NOT the denominators
Final Answer: -35/6 or -5 5/6 *Both answers are equivalent to each other
