Let's simplify the expression step by step:

The expression is:

\[ -4.08 \div 1.2 - (-4.2) \times 1.5 \]

  1. Calculate \(-4.08 \div 1.2\):

\[ -4.08 \div 1.2 = -3.4 \]

  1. Calculate \((-4.2) \times 1.5\):

\[ -4.2 \times 1.5 = -6.3 \]

Since we have \(-(-4.2 \times 1.5)\), we take the opposite of \(-6.3\), which is \(6.3\).

  1. Now put it all together:

\[ -3.4 - (-6.3) = -3.4 + 6.3 \]

  1. Calculate \(-3.4 + 6.3\):

\[ -3.4 + 6.3 = 2.9 \]

Thus, the simplified expression is:

\[ \boxed{2.9} \]
