Answer: [tex]-1 \frac{19}{24}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6 + (−2 5/8)=

5/6 + (−2 - 5/8)=

5/6 −2 - 5/8=

(5/6 −2 - 5/8)*24/24=      ==> 24 is the LCM of 6 and 8

[tex]\frac{(5*24/6 -2*24-5*24/8)}{24}[/tex]=

[tex]\frac{(120/6 -48-120/8)}{24}[/tex]=

[tex]\frac{(20-48-15)}{24}[/tex]=

(-28-15)/24=

-43/24 =

(-24-19)/24=

-24/24 -19/24=

-(24/24 +19/24)=[tex]-1 \frac{19}{24}[/tex]
