Question

the sum of two rational numbers is -8 . If one of them is 3/4, find the other.

Answer 1

Answer » -35/4

$\bf{\underline{Step\:wise\:explanation}}$

Let the other rational number be x.

One rational number=3/4

A/Q

Sum = -8

3/4 + x =-8

x=-8-3/4

x= -8×4-3/4

x= -32-3/4

x=-35/4

So, the other rational number is -35/4 .

Answer 2

$\underline{\textbf{Hey Mate Here Is Your Answer}}$

$\underline{\textbf{Given That..}}$

The Sum Of Two Rational Number Is -8 And Also given That One Number Is 3/4 , So Now We Need To Find

Value Of Other Number ..

So Now Let's Move For Solution..$\Longrightarrow$

$\underline{\textbf{Solution.}}$

Now Go Find The Value Of Second Number Follow The Simple Steps ..$\Longrightarrow$

$\underline{\bold{Step \:- \:1\: ) \: De Fi Ne\: All\: Required\:Terms\:With\:Help\:Of\: Variables}}$

Now In Question It's Given That ..$\Longrightarrow$

$\textbf{First Number = 3/4}$

Now Let The

$\textbf{Second Number Be = X}$

$\underline{\textbf{Step - 2 Form An Equation From The Given Information }}$

Now According To Question It's Said That $\Longrightarrow$

$\underline{First\: Number\: + \:Second \:Number\: =\: -8}$

Therefore Now Putting Value Of

$\textbf{First Number = 3/4}$

$\textbf{Second Number = X }$

Therefore By This We Have $\Longrightarrow$

$\boxed{\mathbf{\frac{3}{4}\: +\: X\: = \: -8}}$

$\underline{\textbf{Step - 3 ) Solve The Equation To Find Value Of X}}$

$\mathbf{\large{\frac{3}{4} + x = - 8}}$

Now Taking 3/4 To RHS We Have $\Longrightarrow$

$\mathbf{\large{\: X \: = \: -8\: -3/4}}$

Now Taking LCM In Terms Of RHS We Have

$\mathbf{ \large{ x = \frac{( - 8 \times 4) - 3}{4} }}$

That Is We Have

$\boxed{ \mathbf{ \large{ x = \frac{ - 35}{ \quad 4} }}}$

$\underline{\textbf{Hence The Required Answer Is }}$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \mathbf{ \large{ x = \frac{ - 35}{ \quad 4} }}}}$
