\[ \frac{-36}{9} + -7 = -11 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{-36}{9}\) and \(\frac{-7}{1}\) is \(9\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{-36}{9} + -7 &= \frac{-36 \cdot 1}{9 \cdot 1} + \frac{-7 \cdot 9}{1 \cdot 9} \\ &= \frac{-36 + -63}{9} \\ &= \frac{-99}{9} \\&= -11 \end{aligned} \]
