The number that should subtracted to get -2

Sᴛᴇᴘꜱ

let us assume that the number is X

So then

$\sf \frac{ - 3}{5} - x = - 2$

Now lets rearrange the terms

$\sf - x = - 2 + \frac{3}{5} \\ \\ \sf so \: lcm \: of \: 1 \: and \: 5 = 5 \\ \\ \sf{} - x = \frac{ - 2(5)}{1(5)} + \frac{3}{5} \\ \\ \sf{} - x = \frac{ - 10}{5} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{ - 7}{5}$

Verification

-3/5-7/5

-10/5

= -2

✰✰ ANSWER ✰✰

$⇝Let\:a\:No.=x$

$⇝Given=\dfrac{-3}{5}$

✏A.T.Q : -

$⇝\dfrac{-3}{5}-x=-2$

$⇝x=\dfrac{-2}{1}+\dfrac{3}{5}$

$⇝x=\dfrac{-10+3}{5}$

☛$\small{\boxed{\bold{\bold{\pink{\sf{x=\dfrac{-7}{5}}}}}}}$

✏Verification : -

$⇝\dfrac{-3}{5}+\dfrac{(-7)}{5}$

$⇝\dfrac{-3-7}{5}$

$⇝\cancel\dfrac{-10}{5}⟹-2$
