$$\frac{2}{3}+(\frac{-5}{-2})$$

$\frac{19}{6}\approx 3.166666667$

Fraction $\frac{-5}{-2}$ can be simplified to $\frac{5}{2}$ by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$\frac{2}{3}+\frac{5}{2}$$

Least common multiple of $3$ and $2$ is $6$. Convert $\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{5}{2}$ to fractions with denominator $6$.

$$\frac{4}{6}+\frac{15}{6}$$

Since $\frac{4}{6}$ and $\frac{15}{6}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{4+15}{6}$$

Add $4$ and $15$ to get $19$.

$$\frac{19}{6}$$

$\frac{19}{2 \cdot 3} = 3\frac{1}{6} = 3.1666666666666665$
