Answer: 4/5


Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two rational numbers is -2.

If one of the numbers is -14/5 then let the another number be x

So,

-14/5+x= -2\\x= -2+14/5\\x = 4/5

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lets check the answer:

-14/5+4/5= -10/5

-14/5= -2

Hi friend!

Answer:

Let's take the other rational number as x.

x  +   \frac{ - 14}{5}  =  - 2 \\  \\ x =  - 2 +  \frac{14}{5}  \\ x =  \frac{ - 10}{5}  +  \frac{14}{5}  \\ x =  \frac{4}{5}

Quick check:
 \frac{4}{5}  +(  \frac{ - 14}{5} ) \\  =  \frac{4 - 14}{5}  \\  =  \frac{ \sout{- 10}  \:  - 2}{\sout{5} \: 1}  \\  =  - 2
So our answer's correct.

Therefore, the other number is
 \frac{4}{5} .
