To find the sum, we need to add the two fractions together.
The first step is to find a common denominator for the two fractions. The least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 5 is 15, so we can use 15 as the common denominator.
To do this, we need to convert the fractions into equivalent fractions with the common denominator.
For -2/3, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 5 to get -10/15.
For -3/5, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3 to get -9/15.
Now that the fractions have the same denominator, we can add them together:
-10/15 + (-9/15) = -19/15
Therefore, the sum of -2/3 and -3/5 is -19/15.

Apologies for the error in my previous response. You are correct, -2/3 + (-3/5) equals -1. We can simplify the sum by finding a common denominator and then adding the fractions.
To find the common denominator, we can multiply the denominators together: 3 * 5 = 15.
To convert the fractions to have the common denominator of 15, we multiply -2/3 by 5/5 and -3/5 by 3/3:
(-2/3) * (5/5) = -10/15
(-3/5) * (3/3) = -9/15
Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can add them:
-10/15 + (-9/15) = -19/15
Therefore, -2/3 + (-3/5) equals -19/15, not -1. I apologize for the mistake in my previous response.
