Simplifying a complex algebraic expression?

Hello, I was doing some Trig work, and I came up with this expression

((-2*sqrt(2))*1/2) + (1/3 * (-sqrt(3)/2))

I cannot seem to figure out how to simplify this eexpression after multiplying, if someone could help me, I would really appreciate it, best answer gets 10 points. Thanks

    -1*sqrt(2) + [(-1/6)*sqrt(3)]

    then put under 1 denominator.

    -[6sqrt(2) + sqrt(3)] / 6

    (-2sqrt(2) * (1/2)) + ((1/3) * (-sqrt(3)/2)))

    (-sqrt(2)) + (-sqrt(3)/6))

    multiply everything by 6

    (-6sqrt(2)/6) + (-sqrt(3)/6)

    (-6sqrt(2) - sqrt(3))/6
