To solve this problem, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions -8/13 and 4/15.

The common denominator for 13 and 15 is 195, so we can rewrite the fractions as:

-8/13 = -8 * (15/15) / 13 = -120/195
4/15 = 4 * (13/13) / 15 = 52/195

Now we can add the fractions:

-120/195 + 52/195 = (-120 + 52)/195 = -68/195

Therefore, the answer is -68/195, which is equivalent to -4/15.
