Question

the sum of the two rational numbers are -7/16 and 5/12​

Answer 1

Answer:

-1/48

Step-by-step explanation:

-7/16 = -21/48

5/12 = 20/48

-7/16 + 5/12 = -21/48 + 20/48

= -1/48

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x,y are 2 rational numbers

sum =-7/16

difference =5/12

x+y=-7/16

x-y=5/12

2x=-7/16+5/12

2x=-21+20/48

2x=-1/48

x=-1/48×2

x=-1/96

substitute x=-1/96 inx+y=-7/16

-1 / 96 + y= - 7 / 16

y =- 7 / 16 + 1/96

y=-42-1 /96

y=-43/96
