Question

I) the sum of two rational number is 8 if one of the number is -5/6 find the outher​

Answer 1

Given: The sum of two rational numbers is$8$ and one of the numbers is$-5/6$.

We have to find the other number.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

The sum of two rational numbers is$8$ and one of the numbers is$-5/6$.

Let the other number be$x$.

From the given statement we can write:

$x+(-\frac{5}{6} )=8\\\\x-\frac{5}{6} =8\\\\x=8+\frac{5}{6} \\\\x=\frac{6\times8+5}{6} \\\\x=\frac{53}{6}$

Solving the above equation further we get,

The other number will be$\frac{53}{6}$.

Hence, the other number is$\frac{53}{6}$.
