Question

the sum of two ratino number is -5 if one of the number is 2/3 find the other​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\frac{-17}{3} \ is\ the \ other \ number}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of two rational numbers = -5

one of the number = 2/3

let the other number be x

$x+\frac{2}{3} =-5 \\\\ x=-5-\frac{2}{3} \\\\ x=-5 \times\frac{3}{3} -\frac{2}{3} \\\\x=\frac{-15}{3} -\frac{2}{3} \\\\x=\frac{-15-2}{3} \\\\ x=\frac{-17}{3}$

The other number = -17/3
