Question

what must be subtracted from -2/3 to get 3/5 ?

Answer 1

Hello,

Let y be the number which is to be subtracted so,

$\frac{ - 2}{3} - y = \frac{3}{5}$

So
Now,
Taking lcm
We get that :

-2-3y/3 = 3/5

5(-2-3y) = 9

-10-15y= 9
15y = - 19
Y= - 19/15

So ,
This must be subtracted

-19/15


Hope this will be helping you ✌️

Answer 2

Hiii friend,

Let X must be subtracted from -2/3 to get 3/5

Therefore,

-2/3 - X = 3/5

-2 - 3X/3 = 2/5

5(-2-3X) = 3 × 3

-10 - 15X = 9

15X = -10-9

15X = -19

X = -19/15

Hence,

-19/15 should be subtracted from -2/3 to make it 3/5

HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU........ :-)
