Question

the sum of two rational numbers is -1/2 . If one of the numbers is 5/6 find the other​

Answer 1

Answer:

let x be a no. Then

5/6 + x= -1/2

x=-5/6 -1/2

lcm of 6 and 2 is 6

so,

x=-5-3/6

x=-8/6

x=-4/3

Answer 2

Answer:

other number is -11/6

Step-by-step explanation:

let two numbers be x, y

x+y=-1/2

let x=5/6

then,

5/6+y=-1/2

y=-1/2-5/6

y=-6-5/6

y=-11/6
