Question

1.the sum of two numbers is -1/3 if one numbers is -12/3 find the other​

Answer 1

Answer :-

• The other number is 11/3.

To find :-

• The other number.

Step-by-step explanation :-

• Here, it is given that the sum of two numbers is -1/3 and one of the numbers is -12/3. We have to find the other number.

Let the other number be "x".

Then :-

• The sum of -12/3 and "x" will be equal to -1/3.

Therefore,

$\longrightarrow \rm \dfrac{-12}{\:\:\:\:3} + x = \dfrac{-1}{\:\:\:3}$

$\longrightarrow \rm x = \dfrac{-1}{\:\:\:3} - \dfrac{-12}{\:\:\:\:3}$

$\rm \longrightarrow x = \dfrac{(-1) - (-12)}{3}$

$\longrightarrow \rm x = \dfrac{11}{3}$

Hence :-

• The other number is 11/3.

V E R I F I C A T I O N -

• To check our answer, let's add up -12/3 and 11/3 and see whether we get -1/3.

$\dashrightarrow \tt \dfrac{-12}{\:\:\:3} + \dfrac{11}{3}$

$\tt \dashrightarrow \dfrac{-12 + 11}{3}$

$\tt \dashrightarrow \dfrac{-1}{\:\:3}$

We get -1/3 on adding -12/3 and 11/3.

Hence verified!!
