\frac{2\left(-4b-5\right)}{18}-\frac{9\left(8b+16\right)}{18}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 9 and 2 is 18. Multiply \frac{-4b-5}{9} times \frac{2}{2}. Multiply \frac{8b+16}{2} times \frac{9}{9}.
\frac{2\left(-4b-5\right)-9\left(8b+16\right)}{18}
Since \frac{2\left(-4b-5\right)}{18} and \frac{9\left(8b+16\right)}{18} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{-8b-10-72b-144}{18}
Do the multiplications in 2\left(-4b-5\right)-9\left(8b+16\right).
\frac{-80b-154}{18}
Combine like terms in -8b-10-72b-144.
