Question

what is to be added to (-3) to get 2/5​

Answer 1

Answer:

(-3) +x=2/5

x=2/5+3

x=17/5

THEREFORE:

17/5 is added to -3 to get 2/5

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the number to be added be x.

Given:

-3/5 + x = 2/5

i.e. x = 2/5 + 3/5

i.e. x = (2 + 3)/5

i.e. x = 5/5

i.e. x = 1

So, we need to add 1 to -3/5 to get 2/5.
