Question

the sum of two rational numbers is -8 if one of the rational number is minus 17 by 9 find the other​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE UNKNOWN NUMBER BE x

-17/9 + x = -8

by taking LCM

-17 /9 + 9x/9 = -8

-17 + 9x = -8*9

-17 + 9x = -72

9x= -72+17

9x = -55

x = -55/9

verification

-17/9+ (-55/9) =( -17-55)/9 = -72/9 = -8

hence verified
