Make sure they have common denominators.
-2/3 x (2/2) = -4/6
-4/6 + -4/6 = -8/6
-8/6 = - 1 2/6
-1 2/6 or -1 1/3 simplified, is your answer
hope this helps

To add these fractions, we need to make them have the same denominator. Luckily, 4/6 simplifies to 2/3:
[tex]-\frac{2}{3} +(- \frac{2}{3} )[/tex]
Adding a negative number is subtraction, so our problem now looks like this:
[tex]-\frac{2}{3} - \frac{2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
The sum of -2/3 and -4/6 is -4/3, or - 1 1/3.
