Hmm, when I did the problem I got -4/3 as an answer.

$${\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\frac{{\mathtt{14}}}{{\mathtt{6}}}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\frac{{\mathtt{6}}}{{\mathtt{6}}}}$$

$${\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\frac{{\mathtt{8}}}{{\mathtt{6}}}}$$

$${\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\frac{{\mathtt{4}}}{{\mathtt{3}}}}$$

Any other mathematicians want to double check this so we get the right answer?
