Answer:
[tex] - \frac{17}{72} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] - \frac{4}{9} + \frac{7}{12} + ( - \frac{ 3}{8} )[/tex]
When there is a (+) in front of an expression in parentheses, the expression remains the same:
[tex] - \frac{4}{9} + \frac{7}{12} - \frac{3}{8} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{ - 4 \times 8 + 7 \times 6 - 3 \times 9}{72} [/tex]
Calculate the sum of difference
[tex] \frac{ - 32 + 42 - 27}{72} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{10 - 27}{72} [/tex]
[tex] - \frac{17}{72} [/tex]
Hope this helps..
Good luck on your assignment...
