What number should be added to \(\frac{-5}{7}\) to get \(\frac{-2}{3}\) ?

Answer»

Suppose x be the rational number to be added to \(\frac{-5}{7}\) to get \(\frac{-2}{3}\)

Then,

\(\frac{-5}{7}\)+ x = \(\frac{-2}{3}\)

x - \(\frac{5}{7}-\frac{2}{3}\)

x = \(\frac{5\times 3-2\times 7}{21}\)

x = \(\frac{15-14}{21}\)

x = \(\frac{1}{21}\)

Therefore,

The required number x = \(\frac{1}{21}\)
