Question

The sum of two rational number is 5 If one of the number is -8/11 find the other​

Answer 1

Answer:

-47/11

Step-by-step explanation:

-8/11 + (-47/11) = 5

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the other number be x.

x + (-8/11) = 5

x - 8/11 = 5

x = 5 + 8/11 = 5/1 + 8/11

              LCM = 11

5/1 * 11/11 = 55/11

55/11 + 8/11 = (55+8) /11

55 + 8 = 63

(55+8)/11 = 63/11

x = 63/11

Verify:

63/11 + (-8/11)

= 63/11 - 8/11

= (63-8)/11

= 55/11 = 5
