Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x=-1/2-5/6

=-8/6=4/3

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

The sum of two rational number is -1/2 and one of them is 5/6

To find:-

Find the other number?

Solution:-

Let the other rational number be X

One of the numbers = 5/6

Their sum

=> (5/6)+X

According to the given problem

The sum of two rational number is -1/2

=> (5/6)+X = -1/2

=>X = (-1/2)-(5/6)

LCM of 2 and 6 = 6

=> X = [(-1×3)-(5×1)]/6

=>X = (-3-5)/6

=>X = -8/6

=>X = -4/3

Therefore, X = -4/3

Answer:-

The other rational number is -4/3
