The answer is -1.

First, distribute the negative inside the parenthesis of 1/2.
Next, turn all the denominators into 6 by multiplying by 3 or 2.

-1/2 + 2/3 + -1 1/6
Changes to -3/6 + 4/6 - 1 1/6

-3/6 + 4/6 = 1/6

1/6 - 1 1/6 = -1

Last Saturday,the MoviePlex theater sold 1,456 tickets.The theater sold 6 times as many regular price tickets as it sold discoun

Andrews [41]

Earl is incorrect

let x be the number of discount tickets sold

then the number of regular tickets sold is 6x

the total tickets sold is 1456, thus

x + 6x = 1456

7x = 1456 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 208

number of discount tickets sold = 208

$\frac{1456}{6}$ ≠ 208

but $\frac{1456}{7}$ = 208

Earl is incorrect , dividing by 7 gives the amount sold
