.............Hey mate..............

Your Answer

$\frac{ - 5}{8} + ( \frac{ - 9}{13} ) = \frac{ - 9}{13} + (\frac{ - 5}{8} ) \\ \\ = \geqslant taking \: \: lcm \\ \\ = \geqslant \frac{ - 65 + ( - 72)}{104} = \frac{ - 72 + ( - 65)}{104} \\ \\ = \geqslant \frac{ - 65 - 72}{104} = \frac{ - 72 - 65}{104} \\ \\ = \geqslant \frac{ - 137}{104} = \frac{ - 137}{104} \\ \\ lhs = rhs \\ \\ = \geqslant \: verifed.$
