Question

Pls help and explain

Answer 1

I think the answer is 13 9/20

Answer 2

Answer:
`\bold{-13(9)/(20)}` --> none of the answer choices are correct

Explanation:

First, give each fraction a common denominator. Then add the integers and the fractions.

`-5(1)/(4)-8(1)/(5)\\\\\\=-5(1)/(4)\bigg((5)/(5)\bigg)-8(1)/(5)\bigg((4)/(4)\bigg)\\\\\\=-5(5)/(20)-8(4)/(20)\\\\\\=-\bigg(5(5)/(20)+8(4)/(20)\bigg)\\\\\\=\large\boxed{-13(9)/(20)}`
