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 number
3 2/7 - 5/7
Borrow from the whole number
2+ 7/7 + 2/7 - 5/7
2 9/7 - 5/7
2 4/7
The sign of the larger number is negative so add the negative sign
- 2 4/7
