Answer 1

Other number is - 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

• The product of two numbers is 5.

• One of them is -8.

To find:-

• Other number.

Solution:-

Let other number be 'x'.

• The product of two number is 5 If one of the number is -8

According to question:

➝ x - (- 8) = 5

➝ x + 8 = 5

➝ x = 5 - 8

➝ x = -3

Verification:-

➝ x - (-8) = 5

➝ x + 8 = 5

• Put x = -3

➝ - 3 + 8 = 5

➝ 5 = 5

Hence, verified.

Therefore,

Other number is -3.
