Question

the sum of two rational numbers is 8 if one of the numbers is -5/6 find the other​

Answer 1

Answer:

. It is given that the sum of two rational numbers is - 8, where one of the numbers is − 15 7 . Let the other rational number be x . Therefore, the other rational number is − 41 7 .

Answer 2

Answer:

$\large{{ \underline\blue{\mathfrak{Given}}}}$

Sum of the rational numbers = 8

One of the numbers = $\rm{ \frac{ - 5}{6} }$

$\large{{ \underline\blue{\mathfrak{To Find}}}}$

• The Other number.

$\large{{ \underline\blue{\mathfrak{Solution}}}}$

Let, the other number be $x$

According to the Question:

Sum of two rational numbers = 8

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

$\space$

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

$\space$

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

$\space$

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

$\space$

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

$\space$

$\implies \:x = \green{ \frac{53}{6} }$

Therefore, the Other number is $\pink{ \frac{53}{6} }$
