Answer:

- 2 4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 2/7 - -5/7

Subtracting a negative is like adding

-3 2/7 +5/7

Since the signs are difference we subtract and take the sign of the larger term

3 2/7 - 5/7

We need to borrow from the 3

2 + 7/7 + 2/7 - 5/7

2 9/7 - 5/7

2 4/7

The sign of the larger term was negative so

- 2 4/7
