Question

the sum of two rational numbers is 8 if one of the number is minus 5 by 6 find the other

Answer 1

Hi friend,

Given
X+Y=8

-5/6 +y=8

Y=8+5/6

By taking LCM,

Y=53/6.
The another number is 53/6.

Hope I helped you a little!!!!

Answer 2

see,
one is -5/6
so we can write as
x + (-5/6) = 8
x = 8 + 5/6
x = 48+5/6
x = 53/6
