Answer 1

Answer:

$15 /4 (b) 20/7 (c) 23/4 (d) 17/4?$

Answer 2

$\large\bold{\underline{\underline{Given:-}}}$

Sum of two numbers = $5$

One of the number = $\frac{ - 3}{4}$

$\large\bold{\underline{\underline{To\:find:-}}}$

The second number.

$\large\bold{\underline{\underline{Solution:-}}}$

Let the second number be $x$.

As per the question,

Sum of two numbers = $5$

$\longrightarrow{\blue{}}$ $\frac{ - 3}{4} + x = 5$

$\longrightarrow{\blue{}}$ $x = 5 + \frac{ 3}{4}$

$\longrightarrow{\blue{}}$ $x = \frac{5 \times 4}{1 \times 4} + \frac{3}{4}$

$\longrightarrow{\blue{}}$ $x = \frac{20 + 3}{4}$

$\longrightarrow{\blue{}}$ $x = \frac{23}{4}$

Hence, the second number "$x$" is $\frac{23}{4}$.
