Solve -2+(3-61/4-(-2))=

$$- 2 + ( 3 - 6 \frac { 1 } { 4 } - ( - 2 ) ) =$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{13}{4}=-3.25$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 6 and 4 to get 24.

$$-2+3-\frac{24+1}{4}-\left(-2\right)$$

Add 24 and 1 to get 25.

$$-2+3-\frac{25}{4}-\left(-2\right)$$

Convert 3 to fraction \frac{12}{4}.

$$-2+\frac{12}{4}-\frac{25}{4}-\left(-2\right)$$

Since \frac{12}{4} and \frac{25}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$-2+\frac{12-25}{4}-\left(-2\right)$$

Subtract 25 from 12 to get -13.

$$-2+-\frac{13}{4}-\left(-2\right)$$

The opposite of -2 is 2.

$$-2-\frac{13}{4}+2$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{8}{4}.

$$-2-\frac{13}{4}+\frac{8}{4}$$

Since -\frac{13}{4} and \frac{8}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$-2+\frac{-13+8}{4}$$

Add -13 and 8 to get -5.

$$-2-\frac{5}{4}$$

Convert -2 to fraction -\frac{8}{4}.

$$-\frac{8}{4}-\frac{5}{4}$$

Since -\frac{8}{4} and \frac{5}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-8-5}{4}$$

Subtract 5 from -8 to get -13.

$$-\frac{13}{4}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{13}{4} = -3\frac{1}{4} = -3.25$$
