Question

(-1/17) + __ = (-12/5) + (-1/17) Fill in the blanks

Answer 1

(-1 /17) + ? = ( -12/5) + (-1/17) 
(-1/17) + ? = (-204 -5) / 85 
(-1/17 ) + ? = (-209) / 85 
? = -209/ 85 + 1/17
? = (- 3553 + 85) / 17
? = - 3468/ 17 
? = 204

Answer 2

Answer:

The final answer is -12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer to the given question, Essentially we need to simply the equation in such a way that both sides are equal. Basically we need to get the LHS answer on the RHS as well. We ensure this by first simplifying the RHS then taking the LHS term to the left to get the required answer.

Let us consider the term that is blank to be x then,

-1/17 + x = -12/5 + -1/17

We take LCM of 17 and 5 and we make the denominators to be the same then,

-1/17 + x = -204/85 + -5/85

-1/17 + x = -209/85

x = -209/85 + 1/17

x = -204/85

x = -12/5
