You can
put this solution on YOUR website! Please help me find the sum or difference of this problem:
{{ -5 7/8 - 2 3/4 }}
They have like signs, so you add their absolute values:
7 7
5 ——— = 5 ———
8 8
3 6
2 ——— = 2 ———
4 8
——————————————————
13 8+5 8 5 5 5
7 ——— = 7 + ————— = 7 + ——— + ——— = 7 + 1 + ——— = 8 ———
8 8 8 8 8 8
Then you put on their common sign. So the answer is -8 5/8
