What number should be subtracted from \(\frac{-5}{3}\) to get \(\frac{5}{6}\) ? |
Answer» Suppose x be the rational number to be subtracted to \(\frac{-5}{3}\) to get \(\frac{5}{6}\) Then, \(\frac{-5}{3}\) - x = \(\frac{5}{6}\) \(\frac{-5}{3}\) - \(\frac{x\times3}{3}\) = \(\frac{5}{6}\) \(\frac{-5}{3}\) - \(\frac{-3x}{3}\) = \(\frac{5}{6}\) \(\frac{-5-3x}{3}\) = \(\frac{5}{6}\) -5-3x = \(\frac{15}{6}\) -3x = \(\frac{-15}{6}\)+ 5 -3x = \(\frac{15\times 1+5\times 6}{6}\) -3x = \(\frac{15+30}{6}\) -3x = \(\frac{45}{6}\) -18x = 45 x = \(\frac{-45}{18}\) x = \(\frac{-5}{2}\) Therefore, The required number x = \(\frac{-5}{2}\) |
