Solve -8/11+-26/11=

$$\frac { - 8 } { 11 } + - 2 \frac { 6 } { 11 } =$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{36}{11}\approx -3.272727273$$

Solution Steps

Fraction \frac{-8}{11} can be rewritten as -\frac{8}{11} by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{8}{11}-\frac{2\times 11+6}{11}$$

Multiply 2 and 11 to get 22.

$$-\frac{8}{11}-\frac{22+6}{11}$$

Add 22 and 6 to get 28.

$$-\frac{8}{11}-\frac{28}{11}$$

Since -\frac{8}{11} and \frac{28}{11} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-8-28}{11}$$

Subtract 28 from -8 to get -36.

$$-\frac{36}{11}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{36}{11} = -3\frac{3}{11} = -3.272727272727273$$
