Substitute the values for the variables and add them all together.

First, let's substitute the values for the variables:

#3/4+1/2-7/10#

Next, let's find a common denominator for the three fractions to make it easier to add:

#15/20+10/20-14/20#

Lastly, let's add them all together:

#15/20+10/20-14/20=11/20#

#11/20# is your answer.
