The sum of two rational numbers is \(-3.\) If one of them is \(\frac{-10}{3}\) then the other one isA. \(\frac{-13}{3}\)B. \(\frac{-19}{3}\)C. \(\frac{1}{3}\)D. \(\frac{13}{3}\)

Answer»

Let the other number be x.

Then,

\(\frac{-10}{3}+\text{x}=\frac{-3}{1}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x}=\frac{-3}{1}-\frac{-10}{3}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x}=\frac{-3\times3-(-10)\times1}{3}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x}=\frac{-9+10}{3}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x}=\frac{1}{3}\)
