Answer 1

is it negative?

Answer 2

To add the fractions \(-\frac{8}{15} + \frac{4}{15}\), you can simply combine the numerators since they have the same denominator.

\[
-\frac{8}{15} + \frac{4}{15} = \frac{-8 + 4}{15} = \frac{-4}{15}
\]

So, the answer is \(-\frac{4}{15}\).

Answer 3

Yes, the result \(-\frac{4}{15}\) is negative. This is because when you add \(-\frac{8}{15}\) and \(\frac{4}{15}\), you are essentially subtracting \(4\) from \(8\), which results in \(-4\) in the numerator. The fraction is therefore negative.
