Answer:
- 2 4/7
Step-by-step explanation:
-3 2/7 - -5/7
Subtracting a negative is like adding
-3 2/7 +5/7
Since the signs are difference we subtract and take the sign of the larger term
3 2/7 - 5/7
We need to borrow from the 3
2 + 7/7 + 2/7 - 5/7
2 9/7 - 5/7
2 4/7
The sign of the larger term was negative so
- 2 4/7
