if you mean this: -1+2%2F11+%2B+%28-3+5%2F11%29
then we have
-1+2%2F11+%2B+%28-3+5%2F11%29+=+-47%2F11+=+-+4.27
if you mean this: -1+%282%2F11%29+%2B+%28-3%28+5%2F11%29%29
then we have
-1+%282%2F11%29+%2B+%28-3%28+5%2F11%29%29
-+%2811+%2B2%29%2F11+%2B+%28-%2833%2B+5%29%2F11%29
-+13%2F11++-38%2F11
-+51%2F11
-+4.64
