To find the sum of \( p \) and \( Q \), we first need to organize the values given:
Let \( p = \frac{3}{4} \) and \( Q = -\frac{11}{4} \).
Now, we can sum \( p \) and \( Q \):
\[
p + Q = \frac{3}{4} + \left(-\frac{11}{4}\right)
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
p + Q = \frac{3}{4} - \frac{11}{4}
\]
Since both fractions have the same denominator, we can combine the numerators:
\[
p + Q = \frac{3 - 11}{4}
\]
Calculating the numerator:
\[
3 - 11 = -8
\]
Thus, we have:
\[
p + Q = \frac{-8}{4}
\]
Now, simplify \( \frac{-8}{4} \):
\[
\frac{-8}{4} = -2
\]
Therefore, the sum of \( p \) and \( Q \) is:
\[
\boxed{-2}
\]
