Question

A rational number is such that when you multiply iy by 5/2 and add 2/3 to the product you get –7/12 . What is the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

According to the given information.

We consider the term x to be the required answer.

Therefore x*(5/2)

Then add it to 2/3 to give - 7/12

So, x*(5/2) +(2/3) = - 7/12

5x/2 = - 7/12 - 2/3

5x/2 = - 15/12

5x = - 30/12

x = - 6/12

x = - 1/2

So the required answer is - 1/2.
