Answer: 7 / 8 should be added

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number that should be added

Write the equation

-3/2 + x = -5/8

Add -3/2 on both sides

-3/2 + x + 3/2 = -5/8 + 3/2

x = -5/8 + 3/2

Change the denominator of 3/2 to 8 in order to do addition

x = -5/8 + 12 / 8

x = 7 / 8

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

85° and 95°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that , x and x + 10 are a pair of angles .

If they will be pair of angles on the same line , then their sum will be 180° .

=> x + x + 10° = 180°

=> 2x = 180° -10°

=> 2x = 170°

=> x = 170°/2

=> x = 85° .

<h3>Hence the two angles are 85° and 95° .</h3>
