$$\frac{-4}{5}-(\frac{-3}{2})$$

$\frac{7}{10}=0.7$

Fraction $\frac{-4}{5}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{4}{5}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{4}{5}-\frac{-3}{2}$$

Fraction $\frac{-3}{2}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{3}{2}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{4}{5}-\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)$$

The opposite of $-\frac{3}{2}$ is $\frac{3}{2}$.

$$-\frac{4}{5}+\frac{3}{2}$$

Least common multiple of $5$ and $2$ is $10$. Convert $-\frac{4}{5}$ and $\frac{3}{2}$ to fractions with denominator $10$.

$$-\frac{8}{10}+\frac{15}{10}$$

Since $-\frac{8}{10}$ and $\frac{15}{10}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-8+15}{10}$$

Add $-8$ and $15$ to get $7$.

$$\frac{7}{10}$$

$\frac{7}{2 \cdot 5} = 0.7$
