Dude can you please type faster or something?

So first, setup the equation like so..

$$-\frac{ 1 }{ 7 } - \frac{ 2 }{ 5 }$$

Put the fractions over a common denominator of 35.

$$-\frac{ 1 }{ 7 }-\frac{ 2 }{ 5 } = \frac{ -5 }{ 35 } + \frac{ 7(-2) }{ 35 }$$

Now multiply..

$$\frac{ -5 }{ 35 }+\frac{ -14 }{ 35 }$$

Now go ahead and add for your final answer which is..

$$\frac{ -19 }{ 35 }$$
