2. \( \frac{-36}{9}+(-7) \)

First, let's simplify the fraction: \( \frac{-36}{9} \) equals \(-4\). Now, we combine that with \(-7\). So \(-4 + (-7)\) is the same as \(-4 - 7\), which equals \(-11\). Thus, the final answer is \(-11\). If numbers could talk, this one would definitely have a lot to say about negativity! Math often demonstrates that combining different values can lead to unexpected results, much like friendships that can sometimes have ups and downs!
