To add positive 2 and negative 7/9, you can convert both numbers to a common denominator and then add them together. The common denominator is 9, so we need to convert the 2 to a fraction with a denominator of 9:
2 = (2/1) * (9/9) = 18/9
Now we can add the two fractions:
18/9 + (-7/9)
To add these fractions, we simply add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same:
(18 - 7) / 9 = 11/9
So, 2 + (-7/9) is equal to 11/9.
