Question

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

Answer 1

according to question
let the no. be x

- 3 \div 5 - x = - 2
taking 5 on other side

- 3 - x = - 10
taking -3 on other side

-x= -13
x=13

Answer 2

Let the number to be subtracted be ‘x’,

$= > ( - \frac{3}{5} ) - x = ( - 2) \\ \\ = > \frac{( (- 3) - 5x)}{5} = ( - 2) \\ \\ = > (( - 3) - 5x) = ( - 2) \times 5 \\ \\ = > (( - 3) - 5x) = ( - 10) \\ \\ = > ( - 5x) = ( - 10) + 3 \\ \\ = > ( - 5x) = ( - 7) \\ \\ = > x = \frac{ - 7}{ - 5} \\ \\ = > \green{\boxed{ x = \frac{7}{5} \: o r\: 1.4}}$
