Question

Whst number should be subtract from -8divide by 15 so as to get -5divide 9

Answer 1

Heya !!!



Let X should be subtracted from -8/15 to get -5/9.


Therefore,



-8/15 - X = -5/9



-8 - 15X/15 = -5/9



9 (-8-15X) = 15 × -5


-72 - 135X = -75



135X = 75 -72


135X = 3


X = 3/135


X = 1/45


Hence,


1/45 should be subtracted from -8/15 to get -5/9.

Answer 2

Hey user,

Here is your answer

-8/15 -x = -5/9

-8-15x/15 = -5/9

-8-25x = -5×15/9

-8 -25x = -5×5/3

3(-8-25x) = -25

x =1/45
