What should be added to \(\frac{-5}{7}\) to get \(\frac{-2}{3}\) ?A. \(\frac{-29}{21}\)B. \(\frac{29}{21}\)C. \(\frac{1}{21}\)D. \(\frac{-1}{21}\)

Answer»

Let the number added be x.

Then,

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

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

\(=\frac{-2\times7-(-5)\times3}{21}\)

\(=\frac{-14+15}{21}\)

\(=\frac{1}{21}\)
