Given:
The sum of two rational number is -14/3.
One of the rational number is -4.
Find:
The another rational number
Solution:
Let the one rational number be y.
y = -4
Let the another number be x.
x + y = -14/3
One number = -4
Another number = x
Sum of two numbers = -14/3
=> x + y = -14/3
=> x + (-4) = -14/3
=> x - 4 = -14/3
=> 3(x - 4) = -14
=> 3x - 12 = -14
=> 3x = -14 + 12
=> 3x = -2
=> x = -2/3
Another number = -2/3
Hence, the another rational number is -2/3.
I hope it will help you.
Regards.

Answer:
=> x + y = -14/3
=> x + (-4) = -14/3
=> x - 4 = -14/3
=> 3(x - 4) = -14
=> 3x - 12 = -14
=> 3x = -14 + 12
=> 3x = -2
=> x = -2/3
Another number = -2/3
