The sum of rational number is-5,if one of the -13 by 6 find the other. What is the answer of this question?????
To find the other rational number, let's assume it as x. Given that the sum of the two rational numbers is -5 and one of them is -13/6, we can write the equation:
-13/6 + x = -5
To solve this equation, we can start by getting rid of the fraction by multiplying every term by the common denominator, which is 6. Thus, we have:
(-13/6)*6 + x*6 = -5*6
-13 + 6x = -30
Next, let's isolate the x term by bringing the constant term to the other side of the equation:
-13 + 13 + 6x = -30 + 13
6x = -17
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for x:
6x/6 = -17/6
x = -17/6
Therefore, the other rational number is -17/6.
