Question

The sum of two rational numbers is -2. If one of the numbers is -14/5, find the other.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ - 14}{5} + x = - 2 \\ x = - 2 + \frac{14}{5 } \\ x = \frac{ - 10 + 14}{5} \\ \: x = \frac{4}{5} \\ therefore \: the \: other \: number \: is \: \frac{4}{5}$

Answer 2

Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

x+(-14/5)= -2

x= 14/5 - 2

x= (14-10)/5

x= 4/5
