To solve this expression, we first need to simplify the fraction part: 7 + 3/14.
To do this, we need to find a common denominator for 14 and 1 (since 3 can be written as 3/1). The least common multiple (LCM) of 14 and 1 is, of course, 14.
So, 7 + 3/14 can be rewritten as (7 * 14)/14 + 3/14.
Simplifying the numerator, we get 98/14 + 3/14.
Now that the fractions have the same denominator, we can add the numerators:
98/14 + 3/14 = (98 + 3)/14 = 101/14.
Therefore, -12 + (7 + 3/14) can be written as a reduced improper fraction as:
-12 + 101/14 = (-12 * 14 + 101)/14 = (-168 + 101)/14 = -67/14.
Hence, the answer is -67/14.
