Question

The product of two numbers is -850. If one of them is -170, find the other number

Answer 1

let the no. be x.
$( - 170) \times x = ( - 850) \\ x = \frac{ - 850}{ - 170} \\ x = 5$
Therefore, answer is 5.

Answer 2

Let the other number be x
so , -170*x=-850
x= -850/-170=5
Hence, the other number is 5
