Question

Q. What number should be subtracted
from -2 to get 7/11?

Answer 1

ANSWER:

$\frac{ - 29}{11}$

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:

Let the number be x

Then,

$- 2 - x = \frac{7}{11}$

$- x = \frac{7}{11} + 2$

$- x = \frac{7 + 22}{11}$

$- x = \frac{29}{11}$

$x = - \frac{29}{11}$

Hence -29/11 must be subtracted from -2 to get 7/11
