Answer:
-337/112.
Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify this expression, we need to find a common denominator for all the fractions. The smallest common denominator for 7 and 16 is 112. The smallest common denominator for 2 and 112 is 224.
So, we can rewrite the expression as follows:
-2/7 + 9/16 + 5/7 - 1/16 + 1/(2*224) - 5
= (-216)/(716) + (97)/(167) + (516)/(716) - (17)/(167) + 1/448 - 5
= (-32 + 63 + 80 - 1 + 1)/112 - 5
= 111/112 - 5
= -448/112 + 111/112
= -337/112
Therefore, the simplified expression is -337/112.
