\[ -8 + \frac{48}{35} = - \frac{232}{35} = -6.6\overline{285714} \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{-8}{1}\) and \(\frac{48}{35}\) is \(35\). \[ \begin{aligned} -8 + \frac{48}{35} &= \frac{-8 \cdot 35}{1 \cdot 35} + \frac{48 \cdot 1}{35 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{-280 + 48}{35} \\ &= \frac{-232}{35} \end{aligned} \]
