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

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

Therefore, the answer is:

\(-\frac{4}{15}\)

am I right , the answer is 4/15

The answer is not \( \frac{4}{15} \). The correct calculation for \( -\frac{8}{15} + \frac{4}{15} \) results in:

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

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

just give me the answer just the numbers plz.

\(-\frac{4}{15}\)
