Question

the sum of two rational number is 8 if one of the numbers is _5/6 find the other? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

the another number is 53/6

Step-by-step explanation:

If we taken the another number as X

then the one of the number is = -5/6

the sum of the 2 numbers =8

then

X+-5/6 = 8

X= 8+5/6

X= 48+5/6

X=53/6

hence the other number =53/6

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the other rational number be x 

 Given One of the numbers is -5/6

          Sum of the two numbers is 8

⇒ x + (-5/6) = 8 

⇒ x - 5/6 = 8 

⇒ x = 8 +5/6

⇒ x = (48+5)/6 = 53/6

Check : x - 5/6 = 8 

          ⇒ 53/6 - 5/6 = 8 

          ⇒ 48/6 = 8 

          ⇒ 8 = 8 

Therefore , L.H.S = R.H.S .
