Answer:

14/15

Explanation:

1. Convert the fractions to have the same denominator

Remember that you can only add fractions with the same denominator

To find the common denominator, find the LCM of 5 and 3 which is 15.

-2/5 * 3/3 = -6/15 and 4/3 * 5/5 = 20/15

-6/15 + 20/15 = 14/15

hope this helps! <3
