To solve the expression \(-12 - (-6)\), we can simplify it step by step.

1. The expression involves subtracting a negative number, which is the same as adding its positive counterpart:
\[
-12 - (-6) = -12 + 6
\]

2. Now, we can perform the addition:
\[
-12 + 6 = -6
\]

Thus, the value of \(-12 - (-6)\) is \(\boxed{-6}\).

To calculate \(-18.1 + 5\), you can follow these steps:

1. Start with \(-18.1\).
2. Since you're adding a positive number (5), you can think of it as moving to the right on the number line from \(-18.1\).

Calculating the addition:

\[
-18.1 + 5 = -18.1 + 5.0 = -13.1
\]

Thus, the value of \(-18.1 + 5\) is \(\boxed{-13.1}\).

To compute \(-189.987 - 30.87\), you simply add the two negative numbers together:

\[
-189.987 - 30.87 = -189.987 + (-30.87)
\]

Now, you add the absolute values:

\[
189.987 + 30.87 = 220.857
\]

Therefore, adding the negatives gives:

\[
-189.987 - 30.87 = -220.857
\]

Thus, the value of \(-189.987 - 30.87\) is \(\boxed{-220.857}\).

To add the fractions \(-\frac{1}{4}\) and \(-\frac{3}{5}\), we first need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 4 and 5 is 20.

Now we convert each fraction to have a denominator of 20:

1. Convert \(-\frac{1}{4}\):
\[
-\frac{1}{4} = -\frac{1 \times 5}{4 \times 5} = -\frac{5}{20}
\]

2. Convert \(-\frac{3}{5}\):
\[
-\frac{3}{5} = -\frac{3 \times 4}{5 \times 4} = -\frac{12}{20}
\]

Now we can add the two fractions:
\[
-\frac{5}{20} + -\frac{12}{20} = -\frac{5 + 12}{20} = -\frac{17}{20}
\]

Therefore, the value of \(-\frac{1}{4} + -\frac{3}{5}\) is \(\boxed{-\frac{17}{20}}\).

No, the correct answer is \(-\frac{17}{20}\).

To clarify:

When adding \(-\frac{1}{4}\) and \(-\frac{3}{5}\), we found that:

\[
-\frac{1}{4} + -\frac{3}{5} = -\frac{17}{20}
\]

So, the final answer is \(-\frac{17}{20}\), not \(\frac{17}{20}\). Thank you for your inquiry!
