Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is 305/19

Step-by-step explanation:

x+ -17=-18/19

x= -18/19 +17

= 305/19

Answer 2

GIVEN:

• The sum of two rational number is -18/19.
• one of the number is -17

TO FIND:

• What is the other number ?

SOLUTION:

Let one number be 'y' and other number be 'x'

We have given that, one of the number is –17

• y = –17

and,

The sum of two numbers is –18/19

According to question:-

One number + other number = Sum of the two numbers

On putting the given values in the formula, we get

$\rm{\hookrightarrow x + (-17) = \dfrac{-18}{19}}$

$\rm{\hookrightarrow x - 17 = \dfrac{-18}{19} }$

$\rm{\hookrightarrow x = \dfrac{-18}{19} + 17 }$

$\rm{\hookrightarrow x = \dfrac{-18 + 323}{19} }$

$\bf{\hookrightarrow x = \dfrac{305}{19}}$

• Other number = x = 305/19

❝ Hence, the other number is 305/19 ❞
