Hello There!

Your answer to this equation will be -22/15

To get this answer you must find Common Denominators (CD)

3: 3,6,9,12,15

5: 5,10,15

CD = 15

Next you must do cross butterfly

-2/3 and -4/5

-2*5= -10

-4*3= -12

Your new problem should be: -10/15 + -12/15

Now Add -10/15 + -12/15

-10 + -12/15 = -22/15

Get your answer: -22/15 or in decimal form answer: -1.466667

Hope This Helps!
