Question

The sum of two rational number is -5 of one number is -13/6find other

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

1/2 is the other number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x

x + 2/3 = 1/6

x = 1/6 - 2/3

To convert them to the same denominator, we have:

1/6 x 3/3 = 3/18

and

2/3 x 6/6 = 12/18

Now, The equation becomes:

x = 12/18 - 3/18

x = 9/18 or 1/2 (in lowest form)

Answer: 1/2

Hope it helps you!

Answer 2

Answer:

let the two numbers be A,B and take A as -13/6 and here we have the equation as A+B=-5 and as A=-13/6 ,-13/6 +B= -5 sending -13/6 to the RHS We get B= -5+13/6 solving we get (13-30)/6=-17/6 hence the other number B= -17/6
