Answer:
As improper fraction:⤵⤵⤵
[tex] \frac{31}{8} [/tex]
or
As mixed number:⤵⤵⤵
[tex]3 \frac{7}{8} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the LCM (Least Common Multiple) in this case our common denominator will be 8. We must now multiply 8 by 9 to get 72 and then we divide by the denominator, 2, to get the numerator of 36. Now we have
-5/8 + 36/8.
We can just add the numerators like usual now, to get 31/8.
Hope this helps :)
