a)
\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{4}{{ - 3}} + \frac{{ - 22}}{5} =\frac{-4}{{3}} + \frac{{ - 22}}{5}= \frac{{-4.5}}{{3.5}} + \frac{{ - 22.3}}{{5.3}}\\ = \frac{{-20}}{{15}} + \frac{{-66}}{{15}} = \frac{{ - 86}}{{ 15}}\end{array}\)
b)
\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{{ - 5}}{{ - 6}} + \frac{7}{{ - 8}} = \frac{{5}}{{6}} + \frac{-7}{{8}}= \frac{{5.4}}{{6.4}} + \frac{{-7.3}}{{8.3}}\\ = \frac{{20}}{{24}} + \frac{{-21}}{{24}} = \frac{-1}{{24}}\end{array}\).
