Answer 1

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-7/3+x=-2

x=-2+7/3

x=-6+7/3

x=1/3

Answer 2

Answer:

1/3 [option c]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number to be added be 'x'.

x + -7/3 = -2

x - 7/3 = -2..... (as +*-==-)

x = -2 + 7/3..... (when a number moves to other side of the equation or =, the sign changes. Here - sign changed to +)

x = -2*3/3 + 7/3 == (-6+7)/3 = 1/3

(We took the lcm at Rhs. Lcm is '3')

Answer : 1/3
