Question

the sum of two rational numbers is -5 . if one of them is -2/3 , find the other.​

Answer 1

Answer:

-13/3

Step-by-step explanation:

IF THE SUM OF THE TWO NUMBERS IS -5

AND ONE OF THE NUMBER IS -2/3

THEN THE EQUATION WILL BE

-2/3+x= -5

x= -5+2/3

(TAKING LCM OF THE TWO NUMBERS)

x= -15+2/3

x= -13/3

So therefore x is -13/3

FOR VERIFICATION

ADD

-2/3+-13/3(TAKE LCM)

-2-13/3

= -15/3

= -5
