Answer:

2/10 or 1/5

Explanation:

Because -5/10 and 7/10 both have 10 as the denominator we don't have to do anything about that, so you just add and simplify.

If you need me to go through it in depth let me know, but I hope that helps!

Have a great day!

2/10

Explanation:

-5+7=2, since the denominator stays the same.
