Simplify. show your work. 5-1/3 + (-3-9/18)

You have to use PEMDAS, it stands for parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. So first you have to subtract the numbers in the parenthesis which is -3.5 (9/18=1/2). Since there are no exponents or multiplying or dividing, we skip those. Now, we do 5-1/3 and we get 4 2/3. Lastly, add 4 2/3 and -3.5(which is equal to -3 1/2). We get 2 1/6=13/6=1.166666667
