Well first you need an LCD, so the first one I can think of, is of course 6... So you multiply the first fraction by 3..
You get -18/6+(-5/6) After that you just add then..I wont give ya the answer becuae that would be cheating

Well, it looks like you're adding two negative fractions. First you need the bottoms numbers to be the same so you can add them. Multiply -6/2 by 3/3 giving you -18/6. You now have an equation of -18/6 + (-5/6) = -23/6. Hope that helps.
