Sum means add.
So, we'd need to add
4 5/6 + 3 5/6
5/6 + 5/6 = 10/6, or 1 4/6, or 1 2/3.
4 + 3 = 7
7 + 1 =8
8 2/3 is your answer.
Glad I could help, and good luck!
I'll go out on a limb and guess the system is

with initial condition

. The coefficient matrix has eigenvalues

such that

The corresponding eigenvectors

are such that




So the characteristic solution to the ODE system is

When

, we have

from which it follows that

and

, making the particular solution to the IVP
