The expression \(\left(-\frac{9}{2}\right) + \left(-\frac{5}{2}\right)\) can be simplified by combining the two fractions.

Since the denominators are the same, you can add the numerators directly:

\[
\frac{-9}{2} + \frac{-5}{2} = \frac{-9 + (-5)}{2} = \frac{-14}{2} = -7
\]

So, \(\left(-\frac{9}{2}\right) + \left(-\frac{5}{2}\right) = -7\).
