Question

What should be added to-3/5 to get -1/3 ?​

Answer 1

To find:-

• Number

$\huge \tt \: ☃ \: Solution$

Let the number be 'x'.

So,According to question

$\implies \tt \: x + ( \frac{ - 3}{5} ) = \frac{ - 1}{3}$

$\implies \tt \: x - \frac{ 3}{5} = \frac{ - 1}{3}$

$\implies \tt \: x = \frac{ - 1}{3} + \frac{ 3}{5}$

$\implies \tt \: x = \frac{ - 5 + 9}{15}$

$\implies \tt \: x = \frac{4}{15}$

Verification:-

$\implies \tt \: x + ( \frac{ - 3}{5} ) = \frac{ - 1}{3}$

• Put x = 4/15

$\implies \tt \: \frac{4}{15} - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{ - 1}{3}$

$\implies \tt \: \frac{4 - 9}{15} = \frac{ - 1}{3}$

$\implies \tt \frac{ - 5}{15} = \frac{ - 1}{3}$

$\implies \tt \frac{ - 1}{3} = \frac{ - 1}{3}$

Thus x = 4/15
