Respuesta :

Since the common denominator is the same, ignore the 2 and do -4/5-2/5= -6/5

-6/5 as a mixed number is -1 1/5. Add the 2 to the 1 and you get: -3 1/5

Another method:

Make everything an improper fraction:
-14/5-2/5 = -16/5= -3 1/5

Answer:

-16/5

Alternate form

-3 1/5, -3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 4/5 + (-2/5)

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

-14/5 + ( -2/5)

When there is a + in front of an expression in parentheses, the expression remains the same

-14/5 - 2/5

Calculate the difference

-16/5

Solution

-16/5

Alternate form

-3 1/5, -3.2
