Question

the sum of the two rational number is -4/3. if one of the numbers is -5 find the other​

Answer 1

Answer:

11/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x. Then,

=(−5/1)+x=(−4/3)

By sending (−5/1) from left hand side to the right hand side it change to −(5/1)

x=(−4/3)−(−5/1)

LCM of 3 and 1 is 3

Express each of the given rational numbers with the above LCM as the common denominator.

Now,

(3×1)

(−4×1)

=

3

−4

=

(1×3)

(−5×3)

=

3

−15

Then,

=(−4/3)−(−15/3)

=(−4+15)/3

=11/3

Hence the required number is (11/3)
