rational numbers please explain aswell with full format​

Answer 1

Answer:

Other number = 7/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Sum of two numbers = 1/3

First Number = -12/15

According to question,

-12/15 + x = 1/-3

(-12+15x)/15 = 1/-3

Cross multiplication

-3(-12+15x) = 15×1

36-45x = 15

-45x = 15-36

-45x = -21

x = -21/-45

x = 7/15

Other number = 7/15
