Question

The sum of 2 numbers is -1/3. If one of the number is -12/3, find the other?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The other number is 11/3

-12/3- 11/3= -1/3

Answer 2

Answer:

Missing number is $\frac{11}{3}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : missing number .

Given : the sum of two  numbers is $\frac{-1}{3}$ , one of the number is $\frac{-12}{3}$ .

Solution :

• As per given data we know that , the sum of two  numbers is $\frac{-1}{3}$ , one of the number is $\frac{-12}{3}$ .
• Let , missing number be $x$ .
• According to given condition we write as , $\frac{-12}{3} + x = \frac{-1}{3}$
• Now , using transposition method we find the value of $x$ ,by transposing constants at RHS and leaving variables at LHS .
• After transposition by performing arithmetic operations such as subtraction we find the value of $x$  .

         $\frac{-12}{3} + x = \frac{-1}{3}\\\\ x = \frac{-1}{3} +\frac{12}{3} \\\\ x =\frac{-1 + 12}{3} \\\\ x =\frac{11}{3}$
