what is to be subtracted from 7/15 to get -4/5

Hi,
let the number to be subtracted be X

        therefore 7/15- X =-4/5
                                 X =7/15-(-4/5)
                                X =7/15+4/5
                                X =19/15
Regards

SOL. let the number to be subtracted be X

        therefore 7/15-X=-4/5
                                X=7/15-(-4/5)
                               X=17/15=4/5
                               X=19/15

Hence the number to be subtracted from 7/15 to get -4/5 is 19/15

SORRY !

THE LINE 'X=17/15=4/5' IS WRONG
IT SHOULD BE X=7/15+4/5
