Question

What should be added to -5/4 to get -1?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x

So,  -5/4 + x = -1

     x = 5/4 - 1

     x = 5/4 - 4/4 = -1/4

Therefore  -1/4 should be added to -5/4 to get -1

Answer 2

• As per the data given in the question, we have to find the value of the expression.

       Given data:- $\frac{-5}{4}+x=-1.$

       To find:- Value of the expression.

       Solution:-

• Let assume x to find the missing term.

• Then the result will be the solution for the given linear equation.

• By using the transposition method.

       we get,

        $\frac{-5}{4}+x=-1\\\Rightarrow -\frac{5}{4}+x=-1 \\\Rightarrow x-\frac{5}{4}=-1\\\Rightarrow x=-1+\frac{5}{4}\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{4}.$

    Hence we will get the equation is $\frac{-5}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=-1 .$
