The given expression is:

x - y - z where x = 9, y = 2 1/2 and z = 3 3/4

this can be written as: x = 9, y = 5/2 and z = 15/4

So plugging all these values in the given expression we get:

9+-+%285%2F2%29+-++%2815%2F4%29 = (36 - 10 - 15)/4 [taking LCM, we get]

We get: (36 - 25)/4

= 11/4

this can be written as: 23%2F4 in the form of a mixed fraction.
