The answer is 5 5/6 simplified to the max.

rewrite the equation with separated parts

-3 1/2 - 2 1/3

-3 - 2 = -5

-1/2 - 1/3? u need to find the LEAST common denominator

-3/6 - 2/6 = -5/6

how did I get 6?

Rewriting input as fractions if necessary:
1/2, 1/3

For the denominators (2, 3) the least common multiple (LCM) is 6.

Therefore, the least common denominator (LCD) is 6.

Now lastly combine them total and its -5 - 5/6 = -5 5/6.
