$\sf{and \: the \: other \: be \: = - }\frac{5}{6}$

$\sf{according \: to \: question}$

$\sf{x + ( \frac{ - 5}{ \: \: \: 6} ) = 8}$

$\: \: \: \sf{x - \frac{5}{6} = 8}$

$\: \: \: \sf{ x = \frac{8}{1} + \frac{5}{6} }$

$\: \: \: \sf{x = \frac{48 + 5}{6} }$

$\: \: \: \boxed{\sf {x = \frac{53}{6}}}$
