To find:
- What number should be added to -17/7 to get -27/7?
Step-by-step explanation:
First we will assume that x should be added to -17/7 to get -27/7, that means when we add x to - 17/7 or sum up x and - 17/7, the result is equal to - 27/7. Thus, forming a linear equation in terms of x and then doing the required mathematical calculations, we can easily find the value of x which is equal to the required number that should be added to -17/7 to get -27/7.
N.B: As the number (to which we are adding unknown value) is negative number as well as the result (-27/7) is negative number, so the value of unknown variable will obviously be negative, because me know that minus ( -27/7 ) is greater than - 17/7 and hence it results negative.
Let's find out...
According to the question,
- - 17/7 + x = - 27/7
- x = - 27/7 + 17/7
- x = (-27 + 17)/7
- x = - 10/7
Verification:
L.H.S
- = - 17/7 + (-10/7)
- = - 17/7 - 10/7
- = (- 17 - 10)/7
- = - 27/7
= R.H.S
