Answer: 11/12

Step-by-step explanation: Rewriting our equation with parts separated

=5+2/3-4-3/4

Solving the whole number parts

5-4=1

Solving the fraction parts

2/3-3/4=?

Find the LCD of 2/3 and 3/4 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions.

LCD = 12

8/12-9/12=-1/12

Combining the whole and fraction parts

1-1/12=11/12
