Question

The sum of two rational numbers is -2. If one of the numbers is $\frac{-14}{5}$, find the other.

Sum of two numbers = - 2 one number $=\frac{-14}{5}$

$\therefore$ Second number $=-2-\left(\frac{-14}{5}\right)$

$=\frac{-2}{1}+\frac{14}{5}=\frac{-10+14}{5}=\frac{4}{5}$

$\therefore$ Second number $=\frac{4}{5}$
