Question

What should be added to -8/24 to get -12/5

Answer 1

Answer:

-31/15

x = -31/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number that should be added to (-8) /24 to get (-12) /5 be 'x'.

Then, according to the question,

x + (-8)/24 = (-12)/5

=> x + (-1)/3 = (-12)/5

=> x = (-12)/5 - (-1)/3

Then LCM of 3 and 5 = 15

So,

=> x = (-36)/15 - (-5)/15

=> x = (-36)/15 + (5)/15

=> x = -31/15

Hence, the value of x = -31/15
