let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions, and then subtract.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 3+2}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{8}{3}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \stackrel{\textit{goal}}{10}-\stackrel{\textit{first week}}{\cfrac{7}{2}}-\stackrel{\textit{second week}}{\cfrac{8}{3}}\implies \cfrac{10}{1}-\cfrac{7}{2}-\cfrac{8}{3}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using an LCD of 6}}{\cfrac{(6)10-(3)7-(2)8}{6}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{60-21-16}{6}\implies \cfrac{23}{6}\implies 3\frac{5}{6}
