let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then add/subtract.
[tex]\stackrel{mixed}{8\frac{1}{3}}\implies \cfrac{8\cdot 3+1}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{25}{3}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{7\frac{1}{5}}\implies \cfrac{7\cdot 5+1}{5}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{36}{5}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ 8\frac{1}{3}~~ +~~\left( -7\frac{1}{5} \right)\implies \cfrac{25}{3}+\left( -\cfrac{36}{5} \right)\implies \cfrac{25}{3}-\cfrac{36}{5}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using }\stackrel{LCD}{15}}{\cfrac{(5)(25)~-~(3)(36)}{15}}[/tex]
[tex]\cfrac{125-108}{15}\implies \cfrac{17}{15}\implies \stackrel{\mathbb{POSITIVE}}{1\frac{2}{15}}[/tex]
