Question

The sum of two national numbers is -1/2 of one of the numbers is 5/6 find the other​

Answer 1

Sum of two rational number = -1

2

First Number = 5

6

Second number = x

•°• x + 5 = -1

6 2

x = -1 - 5

2 6

x = -3 -5

6

x = -8

6

x = -4

3

Verification :

= 5 + -4

6 3

= 5 - 8

6

= -3

6

= -1

2

Answer 2

so lets take the other number as x

This means,you asked x+5/6 = -1/2

we will transpose 5/6 to R.H.S (Right Hand Side)

so, X= -1/2-5/6 (sign changes on transposing)

X = -4/3

verification:

5/6-4/3=-3/6 which means -1/6

thank you for asking,this brushed up my concepts
