Answer 1

Answer:

$-9\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-5\frac{3}{4}-3\frac{1}{2}$

Step 1: Factor out the common term $-1$

$=-\left(5\frac{3}{4}+3\frac{1}{2}\right)$

Step 2: Add the whole numbers

$5 + 3 = 8$

Step 3: Combine the fractions:

$\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{4}\\\\=-\left(8+\frac{5}{4}\right)$

Step 4: Convert the improper fractions to mixed numbers

$\frac{5}{4} = 1\frac{1}{4}\\\\=-\left(8+1\frac{1}{4}\right)$

Step 5: Add the numbers

$8 + 1 =9 \\\\=-9\frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, the answer to the equation is $-9\frac{1}{4}$ in fraction, and decimal; $9.25$
