To simplify the expression, we will first find a common denominator for the fractions:
(-1/8 + 1/5) = (-5/40 + 8/40) = 3/40
Now we can rewrite the expression:
3/40 - (4/8 - 4/9) - 2.05
Next, we will simplify the parentheses:
4/8 = 1/24/9 does not simplify further
Now our expression is:
3/40 - (1/2 - 4/9) - 2.05
1/2 - 4/9 = 9/18 - 8/18 = 1/18
3/40 - 1/18 - 2.05
Finally, we will subtract the fractions:
3/40 - 1/18 = (27/720) - (40/720) = -13/720
Putting it all together, our final answer is:
-13/720 - 2.05
