Question

The sum of two numbers is $\frac{-1}{3}$. If one of the numbers is $\frac{-12}{3}$, find the other.

Answer 1

Sum of two numbers = $\frac{-1}{3}$

One number = $\frac{-12}{3}$ $\therefore$

Second number = $\frac{-1}{3}-\left(\frac{-12}{3}\right)$

=$\frac{-1}{3}+\frac{12}{3}$

=$\frac{-1+12}{3}=\frac{11}{3}$
