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

Answer»

It is given that,

The sum of the two numbers = -8

One of the number = \(\frac{-15}{7}\)

Suppose the other number is x

Since,

The sum is -8

Therefore,

x + \(\frac{-15}{7}\) = -8

\(\frac{7x-15}{7}\) = -8

7x - 15 = -56

7x = -56 + 15

7x = -41

x = \(\frac{-41}{7}\)
