27 - 6 + 5 2/3 + 4 3/4

= 21 + 5 2/3 + 4 3/4 (simplify 27 - 6)

= 21 + 17/3 + 19/4 (convert mixed numbers to fractions)

= 63/3 + 17/3 + 15/4 (find a common denominator of 12)

= 189/12 + 68/12 + 45/12 (convert fractions to have a common denominator)

= 302/12 (combine the numerators)

= 25 1/6 (convert the improper fraction to a mixed number)

Therefore, 27 - 6 - 5 2/3 + 4 3/4 simplifies to 25 1/6.
