Question

the sum of two rational numbers is minus 4 by 3 if one of the numbers is minus 5 then find the other​

Answer 1

Let the other number be x
x+(-5) = -4/3
x-5=-4/3
x= -4/3+5
x= -4+15/3
x=11/3

Answer 2

The other rational number = $\dfrac{11}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The sum of two rational numbers = $\dfrac{-4}{3}$ and

First rational number = - 5

Let x be the other rational number.

To find, the other rational number = ?

∴ First rational number + Other rational number = $\dfrac{-4}{3}$

⇒ - 5 + x = $\dfrac{-4}{3}$

⇒x = $\dfrac{-4}{3}+5$

⇒x = $\dfrac{-4+15}{3}=\dfrac{11}{3}$

∴ The other rational number = $\dfrac{11}{3}$
