Question

the sum of two rational nos. is -6. If one of them is -8/5. Find the other.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the other number be x

-8/5 + x = -6

x = -6 + 8/5

x = -22/5

Therefore,

the other number is -22/5

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{-22}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two rational numbers = - 6

And, one of the numbers = -8/5

∴ The other rational number

= (-6/1) – (-8/5)

= (-6 × 5)/(1 × 5) + (8 × 1)/(5 × 1)

= (-30 + 8)/5 = -22/5
