What should be added to ((2/3) + (3/5)) to get (-2/15)?

Answer»

Given ((2/3) + (3/5))

Let the required number be x

((2/3) + (3/5)) + x = (-2/15)

Consider (2/3) = (2/3) × (5/5) = (10/15)

Again (3/5) = (3/5) × (3/3) = (9/15)

On substituting

((10/15) + (9/15)) + x = (-2/15)

x = (-2/15) – ((10/15) + (9/15))

x = (-2/15) – (19/15)

x = (-2 -19)/15

x = (-21/15)

x = (- 7/5)
