Answer

$-\displaystyle \frac{5}{12}x^{9}+\frac{7}{15}x^{5}-1.7$

Work Step by Step

$ \begin{array}{lllll} & \frac{1}{3}x^{9} & -\frac{1}{5}x^{5} & -2.7 & \\ +( & -\frac{3}{4}x^{9} & +\frac{2}{3}x^{5} & +1 & )\\ \hline & & & & \\ = & (\frac{1}{3}-\frac{3}{4})x^{9} & +(-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{2}{3})x^{5} & +(-2.7+1) & \\ & & & & \\ = & \frac{4-9}{12}x^{9} & +\frac{-3+10}{15}x^{5} & -1.7 & \\ & & & & \\ = & -\frac{5}{12}x^{9} & +\frac{7}{15}x^{5} & -1.7 & \end{array} $
