left parenthesis negative six fifths right parenthesis plus left parenthesis negative nine fifths right parenthesis−65+−95

Let's evaluate the expression:

\[
\left(-\frac{6}{5}\right) + \left(-\frac{9}{5}\right)
\]

Since both fractions have the same denominator, we can add the numerators directly:

\[
\frac{-6}{5} + \frac{-9}{5} = \frac{-6 + (-9)}{5} = \frac{-15}{5}
\]

Now, simplify the fraction:

\[
\frac{-15}{5} = -3
\]

So, the result is:

\[
-3
\]
