$$( 3 + \frac { 5 } { - 7 } ) = ?$$

$\frac{16}{7}\approx 2.285714286$

Fraction $\frac{5}{-7}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{5}{7}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$3-\frac{5}{7}$$

Convert $3$ to fraction $\frac{21}{7}$.

$$\frac{21}{7}-\frac{5}{7}$$

Since $\frac{21}{7}$ and $\frac{5}{7}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{21-5}{7}$$

Subtract $5$ from $21$ to get $16$.

$$\frac{16}{7}$$

$\frac{2 ^ {4}}{7} = 2\frac{2}{7} = 2.2857142857142856$
