The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \((-4/5) + (2/3)\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the denominators The denominators of the fractions are 5 and 3. ### Step 2: Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) We need to find the LCM of 5 and 3 to make the denominators the same. The LCM of 5 and 3 is 15. ### Step 3: Convert the fractions to have the same denominator Now, we will convert each fraction to have a denominator of 15. - For \(-4/5\): \[ -4/5 = (-4 \times 3)/(5 \times 3) = -12/15 \] - For \(2/3\): \[ 2/3 = (2 \times 5)/(3 \times 5) = 10/15 \] ### Step 4: Add the fractions Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can add them: \[ (-12/15) + (10/15) = (-12 + 10)/15 = -2/15 \] ### Final Answer The value of \((-4/5) + (2/3)\) is \(-2/15\). ---
