Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-(1 3/4)x - 5
To reduce possible ambiguity, rewrite all the fractions inside parentheses:
1/2x+(−7)−2 1/4x−(−2) => (1/2)x + (−7) − (2 1/4)x − ( −2)?
Combining the x terms, we get:
-2 1/4 + (1/2)x, or - (1 3/4)x - 7 + 2.
Again combining like terms, we get the final answer
-(1 3/4)x - 5
