Question

The sum of two rational numbers is 8.If one of the numbersis-5/6find the other​

Answer 1

Sum = 8

One number = -5/6

Let the other number be x.

According to condition,

x+(-5/6) = 8

or, x-(5/6) = 8

or, x = 8+(5/6)

or, x = (48+5)/6

or, x = 53/6

The other number = x = 53/6

Hence, the other number is 53/6.
