Question

The sum of two rational numbers is 5/26.If one of the numbers is
-7/26,find the other.​

Answer 1

Given :

• Sum of two numbers = 5/26
• One number = -7/26

$\\ \rule{200pt}{3pt}$

To Find :

• Other number = ?

$\\ \rule{200pt}{3pt}$

Solution :

~ Calculating the Second No. :

${\longmapsto{\qquad{\sf{ \bigg\{ {First \; No. } \bigg\} + \bigg\{ Second \; No. \bigg\} = \dfrac{-7}{26} }}}} \\ \\ \\ \ {\longmapsto{\qquad{\sf{ \bigg\{ { \dfrac{5}{26} } \bigg\} + \bigg\{ Second \; No. \bigg\} = \dfrac{-7}{26} }}}} \\ \\ \\ \ {\longmapsto{\qquad{\sf{ Second \; No. = \dfrac{-7}{26} - \dfrac{5}{26} }}}} \\ \\ \\ \ {\longmapsto{\qquad{\sf{Second \; No. = \dfrac{-7 - 5}{26} }}}} \\ \\ \\ \ {\longmapsto{\qquad{\sf{Second \; No. = \dfrac{7 + 5}{26} }}}} \\ \\ \\ \ \ {\longmapsto{\qquad{\sf{Second \; No. = \dfrac{12}{26} }}}} \\ \\ \\ \ {\longmapsto{\qquad{\sf{Second \; No. = \cancel\dfrac{12}{26} }}}} \\ \\ \\ \ {\qquad \; \; {\therefore \; {\underline{\boxed{\pmb{\red{\frak{ Second \; No. = \dfrac{6}{13} }}}}}}}}$

$\\ \qquad{\rule{150pt}{1pt}}$

~ Therefore :

❛❛ Second No. is 6/13 . ❜❜

$\\ {\underline{\rule{300pt}{9pt}}}$
