Question

What should be subtracted from-3/2 to get -31/14​

Answer 1

Answer:

-3/2 - x = -31/14

-x = -31/14 + 3/2          

-x = -31/14 + 3 (7) / 2 (7)              [ LCM = 14 ]

-x = -31/14 + 21/14

-x = -31 + 21 / 14

-x = -10 / 14

x = 10/14

Verification:

-3/2 - 10/14 = -31/14

-21/14 - 10/14 = -31/14

-31/14 = -31/14
