Solution for the given fractions

$ \frac{5}{(-2)} + -\frac{5}{3 }=? $

The common denominator of the two fractions is: 6

$ \frac{5}{(-2)} = \frac{(-3*5)}{(-3*(-2))} = -\frac{15}{6} $

$ -\frac{5}{3 }= \frac{(-5*2)}{(2*3)} = -\frac{10}{6} $

Fractions adjusted to a common denominator

$ \frac{5}{(-2)} + -\frac{5}{3 }= -\frac{15}{6 }+ -\frac{10}{6} $

$ -\frac{15}{6 }+ -\frac{10}{6 }= \frac{(-15-10)}{6} $

$ \frac{(-15-10)}{6 }= -\frac{25}{6} $
