Answer:

We will get the value is $\frac{-5}{12} +\frac{8}{13} =\frac{31}{156}.$

Step-by-step explanation:

• As per the question we have to evaluate the given data.

         Given data:- $\frac{-5}{12} +\frac{8}{13} .$

         To find:- Value of $\frac{-5}{12} +\frac{8}{13} .$

         Solution:-

• We will take the LCM of the denominators, and make denominators the same.

• We will Convert the given fractions to equivalent fractions with the denominator as the LCM.

• Adding the numerators over the denominators.

        Therefore,

        $\begin{array}{l}\frac{-5}{12}+\frac{8}{13} \\\\=\frac{-5 \times 13}{12 \times 13}+\frac{8 \times 12}{13 \times 12} \\\\=\frac{-65}{156}+\frac{96}{156} \\\\=\frac{-65+96}{156} \\\\=\frac{31}{156}\end{array}$

        The question is to find the value of $\frac{-5}{12} +\frac{8}{13} .$
