14. at he sum of two rational numbers is 8. One of the number is -5/6. Find the other number
​

Answer 1

Answer:

53/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Sum of two numbers = 8
• One number = -5/6
• Other number = ?

Solution:

Let the other number be x

So, According to the question,

=> x + -5/6 = 8

=> x/1 + -5/6 = 8

L.C.M = 6

=> (x/1) × (6/6) + (-5/6) = 8

=> (6x/6) + (-5/6) = 8

=> (6x -5)/6 = 8

Multiplying both sides by 6,

=> {(6x - 5)/6} × 6 = 8 × 6

=> 6x - 5 = 48

=> 6x = 48 + 5

=> 6x = 53

=> x = 53 ÷ 6

=> x = 53/6

Therefore,

The another number is 53/6
