Answer 2

Answer: -28/5

First we have to do the one in the bracket since it is The Rule. Yup, I know rules are boring but we kind of have to follow them.

-4/5 - 2

Now as usual, we will find the LCM of the denominators of both the fractions. Note that the denominator of 2 is 1 since there is nothing there

So LCM of 5 and 1 is of course 5

So we will multiply 2/1 by 5

2x5/1x5 = 10/5

-4/5 - 10/5 = -14/5

Now, since 2 is right next to the bracket, it means we have to multiply it by 2, So

-14/5 x 2 = -28/5

So the answer is -28/5

Hope this was clear and helpful

I hope we come across each other again
