Question

The sum of two rational numbers is -3. If one of them is -10/3
then the other one is​

Answer 1

Let the other number be x.

x+-10/3 = -3

x = -3+10/3

  = 10/3-3

  = 1/3

The number is 1/3.

Hope it helps u...........

Answer 2

Answer:

The other number is y = 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two rational numbers be 'x' and 'y'

Given,

x + y = -3....(1)

And x = -10/3 (let)...(2)

To find,

"y"

substituting equation (2) in (1)

we get :

$-\frac{10}{3} + y = -3$

⇒ $y = -3 + \frac{10}{3}$     (bringing -10/3 from L.H.S. to R.H.S.)

⇒ $y = \frac{-9 + 10}{3}$ (taking L.C.M.)

y = 1/3

Therefore, the other number is y = 1/3.
