what is 2 + (-7/20)? I've been trying to figure it out for a while but i cant seem to get the right answer.

The answer you should get is 33/20 or 1.65. How you get this answer is you start by removing the parentheses, then calculate the difference.

2 + (-7/20)

2 - 7/20

20 times 2 equals 40

Subtract 7 from 40

Keep your denominator the same and change your numerator to 33.
