Answer:

2 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

- 5 1/4- [-7 1/2]

Get a common denominator of 4

- 5 1/4- [-7 1/2*2/2]

- 5 1/4- [-7 2/4]

We know subtracting a negative is adding

- 5 1/4 + [7 2/4]

Rewriting

7 2/4 - 5 1/4

Subtract the whole numbers

7-5 =2

Subtract the fractions

2/4 -1/4 = 1/4

2 1/4
