Given,

The addition of two numbers = -4/15

One of the numbers = 7/12

To find,

The second number in the addition.

Solution,

The second number in the addition will be -51/60.

We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.

Now, let's take the second number to be x.

According to the question,

7/12 + x = -4/15

x = -4/15 - 7/12 ( Moving 7/12 from the left-hand side to the right-hand side will result in the change of its sign from plus to minus)

Taking the L.C.M. of 15 and 12 and adding the two fractions,

x = -4×4 - 5×7/60 ( First, we divide the L.C.M. by the denominator and multiply the numerator with the answer.)

x = -16-35/60

x = -51/60 ( The two negative integers are added but the sign is negative for the result we get.)

Hence, the second number is -51/60.
