Answer:

[tex]-\frac{10}{12}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First things first when adding or subtracting fractions you need to have a common denominator. In order to have a common denominator we need to find a common factor.

[tex]\frac{15}{4} +(-4 \frac{1}{3})=[/tex]

[tex]\frac{45}{12} +(-4\frac{4}{12} )[/tex]

When "adding" a negative and a positive you will actually subtract. So you are basically just subtracting here.

[tex]\frac{45}{12} +(-4\frac{4}{12} )=[/tex]

[tex]\frac{45}{12} -4\frac{4}{12}[/tex]

Lets first convert our mixed number into an improper fraction.

[tex]\frac{45}{12} -4\frac{4}{12}=[/tex]

[tex]\frac{45}{12} -\frac{52}{12}[/tex]

Now just subtract.

[tex]\frac{45}{12} -\frac{52}{12}=[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{10}{12}[/tex]

Good luck! You got this!
