To solve the expression:

\[
-8 + \left(\frac{-6}{7}\right)
\]

1. The first term is \(-8\).
2. The second term is \(\frac{-6}{7}\), which simplifies to \(-\frac{6}{7}\).

Now, we combine the two terms:

\[
-8 + \left(-\frac{6}{7}\right) = -8 - \frac{6}{7}
\]

To add these, convert \(-8\) to a fraction with the same denominator:

\[
-8 = \frac{-56}{7}
\]

Now, we can add the fractions:

\[
\frac{-56}{7} - \frac{6}{7} = \frac{-56 - 6}{7} = \frac{-62}{7}
\]

Thus, the final result is:

\[
\frac{-62}{7}
\]

Or as a decimal:

\[
\frac{-62}{7} \approx -8.857
\]
