What number should be added to (-5/7) to get (-2/3)?

Answer»

Given (-5/7)

Let the required number be x

x + (-5/7) = (-2/3)

x = (-2/3) – (-5/7)

x = (-2/3) + (5/7)

LCM of 3 and 7 is 21

Consider (-2/3) = (-2/3) × (7/7) = (-14/21)

Again (5/7) = (5/7) × (3/3) = (15/21)

On substituting

x = (-14/21) + (15/21)

x = (-14 + 15)/21

x = (1/21)
