The sum of the two rational numbers is -8. If one of the numbers is \(\frac{-15}{7}\), find the other.

Answer»

Given that,

Sum of two rational numbers = -8/1
One of the number = -15/7
Let the other number as x

\(x+\frac{-15}{7}=-8\\\frac{(7x-15)}{7}=-8\\=7x-15=-8\times7\\=7x-15=-56\\=7x=-56+15\\=x=\frac{-41}{7}\)

\(\therefore\) the other number is \(\frac{-41}{7}\)
