$-(1)/(3)\text{ + }(2)/(5)$

First, we must have the same bottom numbers (denominators) to add the fractions.

To do that, we can multiply the first fraction by 5 (top and bottom numbers) and the second fraction by 3.

$-\frac{1}{3\text{ }}\text{ (}(5)/(5))\text{ + }(2)/(5)\text{ (}(3)/(3))$
$-\text{ }(5)/(15)+(6)/(15)$

Now that both denominators are equal we can add the numerators (top numbers)

$(-5+6)/(15)\text{ }$
(1)/(15)
