$$- \frac{ 9 }{ 2 } +- \frac{ 7 }{ 4 }$$

$-\frac{25}{4}=-6.25$

Least common multiple of $2$ and $4$ is $4$. Convert $-\frac{9}{2}$ and $\frac{7}{4}$ to fractions with denominator $4$.

$$-\frac{18}{4}-\frac{7}{4}$$

Since $-\frac{18}{4}$ and $\frac{7}{4}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-18-7}{4}$$

Subtract $7$ from $-18$ to get $-25$.

$$-\frac{25}{4}$$

$-\frac{25}{4} = -6\frac{1}{4} = -6.25$
