Answer 2

Hey friend here is your answer :

Given that :

Sum of rational numbers is -2

One of them is -14 / 5

Other one = ???

Let the other rational no. be x

According to the question:

-14 / 5 + x = -2

L.C.M = 5

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

-14 + 5x / 5 = -2

Cross multiply

-14 + 5x = -2 × 5

-14 + 5x = -10

5x = -10 + 14

5x = -4

x = -4 / 5

So the other rational no. is -4 / 5

Hope it helps.
