Question

the sum of two rational numbers is -5. If one of them is-13/6. find the other?​

Answer 1

Let the other rational number be x.

According to the question,

$\frac{ - 13}{6} + x = - 5 \\ = > x \: = - 5 \: - \frac{ - 13}{6} \\ = > \: x \: = - 5 + \frac{13}{6} \\ = > \: x \: = \frac{ - 30 + 13}{6} \\ = > \: x \: = \frac{ - 17}{6}$

Therefore, the other rational number is (-17/6).

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the value of other number be X

X + 13/6=-5

X=-5-13/6

X=-30-13/6(take LCM)

X=-43/6
