Solution :-

Firstly group the rational numbers with same denominators

\(  \dfrac{-6}{7 }+\dfrac{ -15}{7}+ \dfrac{-5}{6} + \dfrac{-4}{9} \)

\(\dfrac{ (-6 -15)}{7} + \dfrac{-5}{6} +\dfrac{ -4}{9}\)

\(\dfrac{ -21}{7} + \dfrac{-5}{6} +\dfrac{ -4}{9}\)

\(\dfrac{ -3}{1} +\dfrac{ -5}{6} + \dfrac{-4}{9}\)

By taking LCM for 1, 6 and 9 we get, 18

\(\dfrac{ (-3×18)}{(1×18)} +\dfrac{ (-5×3)}{(6×3) }+ \dfrac{(-4×2)}{(9×2)}\)

\(\dfrac{ -54}{18} +\dfrac{ -15}{18} +\dfrac{ -8}{18}\)

Since the denominators are same can be added directly

\(\dfrac{ (-54-15-8)}{18 }= \dfrac{-77}{18}\)
