The sum of two rational number is $-5$, if one of them is $\frac{13}{6}$ then find the other number.

Given :

The sum of two rational numbers $= -5$.

One of the numbers is $\frac{13}{6}$.

To do :

WE have to find the other number.

Solution :

Let the other number be x.

Therefore,

$x+\frac{13}{6} = -5$

$x = -5-(\frac{13}{6})$

$x = -(5 + \frac{13}{6})$

$x = -(\frac{(5\times 6+13)}{6})$

$x=-(\frac{(30+13)}{6})$

$x=-\frac{43}{6}$.

The other rational number is $-\frac{43}{6}$.
