Answer :-
The required number is 2/5.
Solution :-
Sum of two numbers = - 3
One of the number = - 17/5
Let the another number be x
According to the question :-
⇒ - 17/5 + x = - 3
Transpose - 17/5 to RHS
⇒ x = - 3 + 17/5
⇒ x = - 3/1 + 17/5
Taking LCM
⇒ x = - 3(5)/1(5) + 17/5
⇒ x = - 15/5 + 17/5
⇒ x = 2/5
Therefore the required number is 2/5.
Verification :-
- 17/5 + x = - 3
Substitute x = 2/5 in the above equation
⇒ - 17/5 + 2/5 = - 3
⇒ (- 17 + 2)/5 = - 3
⇒ - 15/5 = - 3
⇒ - 3 = - 3
