Answer 1

Answer:     -17/3

Step-by-step explanation:

given,  

              sum of two rational number  = -5

one of the rational number  =   2/3

since,   let the another number be  x.

a/q

            2/3 + x =   -5

                 x  =  -5  - 2/3

                 x   =      -15 -2 / 3

                 x =       -17/3

Answer 2

Answer:

-17/3

Step-by-step explanation:

let other number be x

then,

x+2/3=-5

x=-5-2/3 (by transposition)

x=(-15-2)/3

x=-17/3

Therefore,the other number is -17/3
