Answer 1

$\large\bold{\mathcal{\underline{\underline{.....Answer....}}}}$

$\large\bold{\mathcal{Given:}}$

Sum of two rational numbers is '-8'

one of the number is $\large\ bold{\frac{-3}{2}}$

$\large\bold{\mathcal{solution:}}$

let 'x' be the other number

$\large\bold{\frac{-3}{2}\:+ x\:=\:-8}$

$\large\bold{-3\:+\:x\:=\:-8\:×\:2}$

$\large\bold{x\:=\:16\:+\:3}$

$\large\bold{\boxed{\boxed{x\:=\:19}}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

X+(-3/2)=-8

X-3/2=-8

X=-8+3/2

X=(-16+3)/2

X= - 13/2

(-13/2) +(-3/2) = - 8
