Question

what number should be added to -5 to get -3/7​

Answer 1

Answer:

28/5

Step-by-step explanation:

-5 + x= 3/5

x=3/5+5

x=28/5

verify:

-5 + 28/5

=3/5

Answer 2

Answer:

let the number to be added be x

-5 + x = -3/5

5(-5 + x) = -3

-25 + 5x = -3

5x = -3 +25

5x = 22

x = 22/5

therefore 22/5 must be added to -5 to get -3/7
