Question

what should be added to -7/8 so as to get 5/9​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$- \frac{7}{8} + x = \frac{5}{9} \\ \\ x = \frac{5}{9} + \frac{7}{8} \\ x = \frac{8 \times 5 + 9 \times 7}{72} \\ x = \frac{40 + 63}{72} \\ x = \frac{103}{72} ans \\ \\ \\ add \: \frac{103}{72} - \frac{7}{8} = \frac{5}{9}$
