$$3/4-(-7/2)$$

$\frac{17}{4}=4.25$

Fraction $\frac{-7}{2}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{7}{2}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$\frac{3}{4}-\left(-\frac{7}{2}\right)$$

The opposite of $-\frac{7}{2}$ is $\frac{7}{2}$.

$$\frac{3}{4}+\frac{7}{2}$$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $2$ is $4$. Convert $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{7}{2}$ to fractions with denominator $4$.

$$\frac{3}{4}+\frac{14}{4}$$

Since $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{14}{4}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{3+14}{4}$$

Add $3$ and $14$ to get $17$.

$$\frac{17}{4}$$

$\frac{17}{2 ^ {2}} = 4\frac{1}{4} = 4.25$
