Question

what number should be added to 8/14 to get -2/7

Answer 1

let the number be "x "




8 /14 + x = - 2 / 7



x = - 2/ 7 - 8 / 14



x = - ( 2 / 7 + 8 / 14 )




x = - ( 28 + 56 ) / 98




x = - 84 / 98




x = - 42 / 49




x = - 6 / 7

Answer 2

hey mate! here's your answer!

let x be the number that should be added to 8/14.

so,

$x + \frac{8}{14} = \frac{ - 2}{7}$

$x = \frac{ - 2}{7} - \frac{8}{14}$

$x = \frac{ - 4 - 8}{14}$

$x = \frac{ - 12}{14}$

$x = \frac{ - 6}{7}$

so, -6/7 is the answer.

hope it is helpful ✌️!
