Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number be x

-1-x=5/3

-x=5/3+1

-x=(5+3)/3

-x=8/3

x=-8/3

Therefore - 8/3 should be subtracted from - 1 to get 5/3

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the other no. be x

$x - ( - 1) = \frac{5}{3}$

$x = \frac{5}{3} + 1$

$x = \frac{5 + 3}{3}$

$x = \frac{8}{3}$
