To evaluate the expression \( 25 + (-\frac{1}{3}) \), we can rewrite it as:
\[ 25 - \frac{1}{3} \]
To perform this subtraction, we convert 25 to a fraction with a denominator of 3:
\[ 25 = \frac{25 \times 3}{1 \times 3} = \frac{75}{3} \]
Now we can subtract:
\[ \frac{75}{3} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{75 - 1}{3} = \frac{74}{3} \]
Thus, the value of the expression \( 25 + (-\frac{1}{3}) \) is:
\[ \frac{74}{3} \]
However, since the choices provided relate to negative values, it's necessary to check how I addressed the question. The correct evaluation gives \( \frac{74}{3} \). Yet, if the options focus on a negative segment, it could relate to an error in understanding. Assuming other nuances, without correct representation among the responses, could incline it leaning on misinterpretation.
To summarize, the evaluated expression yields \( \frac{74}{3} \), which does not align with provided options yielding an impasse. None match the computed answer of \( 74/3 \). Thus:
The correct resolution stands \( \frac{74}{3} \) or sentiment choice absent of values presumed should verify available fragment possibilities inherent in literature.
