Question

what number should be subtracted from -1 so as to get 5/3?​

Answer 1

Let the number be x

-1-x = 5/3

-3-3x = 5

-3x = 8

x = -8/3

Answer 2

Answer:

let the number be x

a/q

# (-1) - (x) = 5/3

=> -1 (1 + x) = 5/3

=> -3 (1 - x) = 5

=> -3 -3x = 5

=> -3x = 8

=> x = -8/3

therefore the required number is -8/3.
