-2/3 - 5/6 

We need common denominators so, since 3 can go into 6, we only need to multiply the first fraction by 2.

= -2 x 2 / 3x2  -  5/6 
= -4 / 6 - 5/6 
 
We only subtract the numbers that are in the numerators, 

= -4-5 / 6 
= -9/6 

Both nine and six are divisible by 3, so to put into lowest terms... 

=-9÷3 / 6÷3
= -3/2  <--- Final Answer
