There are many ways to do this depending on the property you have to use:
If you use the distributive property, you need to distribute 3/4 to -10 and 2/5. Distribute means you will multiply it so your resulting equation will be this:

Before you can add, you need to first make them like terms because you cannot add unlike fractions. Get the LCD and form your new equation:

Now you can just add them together to get:

and then simplify your fraction:

or -
The whole fraction becomes negative because when you divide integers and of them is negative, the final answer will be negative.
I’m a little confused by the question and the problem, is there a picture of the problem you could add?
Answer:
Length = 6.25 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Your dad is designing a new garden for your backyard. He has 20 feet of fencing to go around the garden.
Let the width is x.
Length is 2 1/2 feet longer than the width i.e. (x+2 1/2) = (x+2.5) feet
Perimeter = 20 feet
2(l+b) = 20
(l+b) = 10
(x+2.5+x) = 10
2x+2.5 = 10
2x = 7.5
x = 3.75 feet
Length = (x+2.5)
= (3.75+2.5)
= 6.25 feet
So, the length of the garden is 6.25 feet.
