Answer 2

Answer:

4/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's form an equation and keep the missing number as 'a':

1. -3/5 + a = -1/3 [Then solve it using algebraic properties]
2. a = -1/3 - (-3/5)
3. a = -1/3 + 3/5 [LCM: 15]
4. a = $\frac{-5}{15} + \frac{9}{15}$
5. Thus, a = 4/15

Hope this helps you :)
