Question

if sum of two numbers is -5 if one number is minus -11 by 6 find the other

Answer 1

Dear Student,

Let the two number are x and y.
Given that ,

x=$\frac{-11}{6}$
And,
x + y = -5

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \frac{-11}{6}+y=-5 \\ \Rightarrow y=-5+\frac{11}{6}=\frac{-30+11}{6}=\frac{-19}{6} \end{gathered}$$

So, the other number is $\frac{-19}{6}$
