Question 1144456

Please help me solve

-5/2 - (-2/9)
<pre>Student, DON'T accept that answer from that dude, It's WRONG, as usual. {{{matrix(1,4, - 5/2 - (- 2/9), DOES, NOT, "=" - 2)}}}. 
You should be able to see this LOGIC: {{{matrix(1,3, - 5/2, "=", - 2&1/2)}}}, and the ONLY way that simplifies to - 2 is to ADD {{{matrix(1,3, 1/2, to, - 2&1/2)}}}. Is {{{matrix(1,3, - - 2/9, "=", 1/2)}}}? 
He needs to just give it up and QUIT trying to help, because the only help he gives is ALMOST ALWAYS MISLEADING, and/or SENSELESS.
