Question

The product of two rational numbers is -5. If one of these numbers is −7/15, find the other

Answer 1

Answer:

Given sum of two numbers is -8 One of them is (-15/7)  

Let the required number be x

              x + (-15/7) = -8

The LCM of 7 and 1 is 7 Consider (-8/1) = (-8/1) × (7/7) = (-56/7)  

On substituting x

x + (-15/7) = (-56/7)

x = (-56/7) – (-15/7)

x = (-56/7) + (15/7)

x = (-56 + 15)/7

x = (-41/7)
