Question

what should be subtracted from -5/3to get -3/4? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

-11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number to be subtracted,

-3/4 = -5/3 - x

-3/4 + x = -5/3

x = -5/3 - ( -3/4 )

x = -5/3 + 3/4

x = (-20+9)/(3x4)

x = -11/12

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number to be subtracted = x

- 5/3 - x = - 3/4

- 5/3+3/4 = x

(-5*4+3*3)/12 =x

(-20+9)/12 =x

- 11/12 =x

x= - 11/12
