To find the sum of p and q, we can simply add the two fractions together.
p = 3/4
q = -11/4
p + q = (3/4) + (-11/4)
When adding fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the denominators are already the same, so we can add the numerators directly.
p + q = (3 + (-11))/4
Simplifying the numerator:
p + q = (-8)/4
To reduce the fraction to its lowest terms, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 4.
p + q = (-8)/4 = -2
Therefore, the sum of p and q, when reduced to lowest terms, is -2.

q = -11/4
