Question

if the sum of two rational numaber is -8 and one among them is -17/9 then the other fraction is​

Answer 1

Answer:

-55/9

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number is x

x +(-17/9)=-8

9x - 17/9 = -8

9x-17=-72

x=-72+17/9

x=-55/9

Answer 2

Answer:

Let other number be x

-17/9 + x = -8

x = -8 - (-17/9)

x = -8 + 17/9 ( Lcm = 9 )

x = -8/1 × 9/9 + 17/9

x = -72/9 + 17/9

x = -55/9

other fraction is -55/9
