Question

the sum of two numbers is -4/3 if one of the number is -5 find the other​

Answer 1

Answer:

one no = -5

sum = -4/3

-5+x = -4/3

x = -4/3+5

x = -20+3/5 = -17/5

Answer 2

Answer: $x = \frac{11}{3}$

Explanation:

Given:

1. Sum of two numbers = $\frac{-4}{3}$
2. One of the numbers = -5

To find: The first number

Proof:

Let the other number = $x$

∴ According to the question,

= $x + (-5) = \frac{-4}{3}$

⇒ $x -5 = \frac{-4}{3}$

⇒ $x = \frac{-4}{3} + 5$

⇒ $x = \frac{-4 +15 }{3}$                                            ( L.C.M )

⇒ $x = \frac{11}{3}$

Hence, the other number = $x = \frac{11}{3}$

Proved.

Hope you got that.

Thank you.
