Question

A rational number is such that when we multiple it by 10/3 and add 3/8 to the product, we get -3/2 . what is the number ?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

set up your equation

(x* 10/3) + 3/8 = -3/2

10/3x = -3/2- 3/8

10/3x= -15/8...cross multiply

10x*8 = 3*-15

80x= -45...divide both sides by 80

x= -9/16
