Answer 2

Answer:

$-\dfrac{13}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need a common denominator.

The least common multiple of 15 and 5 is 15.

We change the second fraction to have 15 in the denominator.

$-\dfrac{4}{15} - \dfrac{3}{5} =$

$= -\dfrac{4}{15} - \dfrac{3 \times 3}{3 \times 5}$

$= -\dfrac{4}{15} - \dfrac{9}{15}$

$= -\dfrac{13}{15}$
