Question

the sum of two rational number is minus 14 upon 3 if one of the rational number is -4 then find the other number​

Answer 1

Answer:

-2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-14/3 - ( -4)

= -14/3 + 4

= (-14 + 12)/3

= -2/3

Answer 2

Solution :

Let the unknown rational number be x

$- 4 + x = \frac{ - 14}{3} \\ \\ x = \frac{ - 14}{3} + 4 \\ \\ x = \frac{ - 14 + 12}{3} \\ \\ x = \frac{ - 2}{3}$

So, $\frac{-2}{3}$ is the another rational number

Verification :

$\frac{ - 2}{3} - 4 = \frac{ - 14}{3} \\ \\ \implies \frac{ - 2 - 12}{3} = \frac{ - 14}{3} \\ \\ \implies \frac{ - 14}{3} = \frac{ - 14}{3}$

Hence, proved
