First of all, no need to panic like that. ;)-

Just find the LCD (lowest common denominator) of 8 and 9. That is 72.

Convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with a denominator of 72.
7/8 = 63/72
7/9 = 56/72

Now add: 63/72 + 56/72 = 119/72

If you need to convert the improper fraction to a mixed number, just divide it.
119/72 = 1.6527777777777...
Then, just search online for the mixed number and you're done!

Hope this helps! :)
