Question

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

Answer 1

SOLUTION:

Let the number be x.

According to question,

8/14 + x = -2/7

x = -2/7 - 8/14

x =(-4 - 8)/14

x = -12/14

x = -6/7

Hence, -6/7 should be added to 8/14 to get -2/7

VERIFICATION:

8/14 + (-6)/7

L.C.M of 14 and 7 is 14

(8 - 12)/14

-4/14

-2/7

Hence, Verified.
