Answer 2

Answer:

-51/60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Then,

$\frac{7}{12} + x \: = \frac{ - 4}{15} \\ \\ x = \frac{ - 4}{15} - ( + \frac{7}{12}) \\ \\ x = \frac{ - 4}{15} - \frac{7}{12} \\ \\ x = \frac{ - 16}{60} - \frac{35}{60} \\ \\ x = \frac{ - 16 - 35}{60} \\ \\ x = \frac{ - 51}{60}$

Hope this helps you.
