Question

What should be subtracted from -2 to get 3/8 ?

Answer 1

let no. be x

-2 -x = 3/8

-x= 3/8+2

-x = 19/8

x= - 19/8

Answer 2

Hey mate...

Here is your answer...

To get a no. which is subracted from -2 to get 3/8, we will subtract 3/8 from -2

-2 - 3/8 or -2/1 - 3/8

LCM of 1&8 is 8

= -16/8 - 3/8

= -13/8

Verify

-2 -(-13/8) or -2/1 - (-13/8)

= -2/1 + 13/8

LCM of 1&8 is 8

= -16/8 + 13/8

= -3/8

Hope this helps...!!!
