Question

the sum of two number is -8 if one of the number is minus 15 by 7 find the other​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the nymber be 'x'

and the sum of two numbers = -8

one of the number is -15/7

-15/7 + x = -8

(-15 + 7x )/7 = -8

-15 + 7x = -8 × 7

-15 + 7x = -56

7x = -56 + 15

7x = -41

x = -41/7

so the number is -41/7
