Answer:

  • -24/35

Explanation:

Bring the fractions to common denominator of 5*7 = 35:

  • -7/5 + 5/7 =
  • -7(7)/35 + 5(5)/35 =
  • -49/35 + 25/35 =
  • (-49 + 25)/35 =
  • -24/35

Q) (-7/5) + (5/7) = ?

→ (-7×7/5×7) + (5×5/7×5)

→ (-49/35) + (25/35)

→ (-49 + 25)/35

→ -24/35 is the solution.
