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

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