Question

What must be subtracted from $\left(\frac{-11}{17}\right)$ to get $\left(\frac{11}{2}\right)$ ?

• A. $\frac{-103}{34}$
• B. $\frac{-209}{34}$
• C. $\frac{-207}{34}$
• D. $\frac{-189}{34}$
• E. $Noneofthese$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$\frac{-209}{34}$

Let $x$ be subtracted from $\frac{-11}{17}$ to get $\frac{11}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{-11}{17}-x=\frac{11}{2}\Rightarrow x=\frac{-11}{17}-\frac{11}{2}\Rightarrow x=\frac{-22-187}{34}\Rightarrow x=\frac{-209}{34}$
