Question

the sum of two rational numbers is -5 .if one number is -13/6. find the other.

Answer 1

Let the other number be a.

As per given condition,
-13/6 + a = -5
-13 + 6a = -30
6a = -30+13
6a = -17
a = -17/6

Therefore, the other number is -17/6

Answer 2

heya...

Here is....

Given,

one number = -13/6

Sum of numbers = -5

Let us take the other number = x

-13/6+x = -5

x = -5+13/6

x = 5-13/6

x = 30-13/6

x = 17/6
