To find the sum of p and q, we simply add the two fractions together.
p = 3/4
q = -11/4
p + q = (3/4) + (-11/4)
To add fractions with the same denominator, we can add the numerators and keep the same denominator.
p + q = (3 - 11)/4
p + q = -8/4
We can simplify -8/4 to its lowest terms by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.
-8/4 = (-8 ÷ 4)/(4 ÷ 4)
= -2/1
Therefore, the sum of p and q, when reduced to lowest terms, is -2/1 or simply -2.
