Mathematics for Class 8
14. What should be subtracted from -3/2
to get -2?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

-3/2-x=-2

-x=-2+3/2

-x=-4+3/2

-x=-1/2

x=1/2

Therefore, 1/2 be the number should be subtracted from -3/2 to get -2

Hope it helps you......

Answer 2

• Given: a number should be subtracted from -3/2  to get -2.
• To solve: To find the number that should be subtracted from -3/2 to get -2.

       Solution:

• Step 1: Let the unknown number that should be subtracted be x.
• Step 2: Therefore, -3/2 - x = -2.
• Step 3: Take -x to the right side and -2 to the left side.
• Because of that, -x changes to x and -2 changes to +2.
• Step 4: Therefore, taking LCM we get  

         x = -3/2 + 2

         x = (-3 + 4) / 2  

         x = 1/2.

• Hence we get the solution 1/2.
