Simplify negative 7 and 1 over 8 − negative 9 and 1 over 2.

The answer is 2 and 3/8.

To find this we need to look at the entire equation.

-7 1/8 - -9 1/2

When we have two negatives like this, we need to turn it into an addition sign.

-7 1/8 + 9 1/2

Now we need to give them common denominators

-7 1/8 + 9 4/8

Now we can simply add the two parts

2 3/8

just do 5.2 + 2 ( 7.2) and 1/3 x 3 (.9) and youv'e got your equation. 0.9( 9/10) + 7.2 ^2 = 16.4 hope i could !
