Question

The sum of two rational numbers is . If one of them is −5, find the other.

Answer 1

$\begin{array}{l}\text{Let the required number be}\mathit{\text{x}}\text{.}\\ \\ -5+x=\frac{-4}{3}\\ =>x=\frac{-4}{3}+5\\ =>x=\frac{-4+15}{3}\\ =>x=\frac{11}{3}\\ \\ \text{Hence, the requied number is}\frac{11}{3}\text{.}\end{array}$
