What should be added to $\frac{-3}{5}$ to get 3 ?

Given :

The given value is $\frac{-3}{5}$.

To find :

We have to find the number that should be added to $\frac{-3}{5}$ to get 3.

Solution :

Let the unknown number be $x$.

This implies,

$\frac{-3}{5} + x = 3$

$x = 3 + \frac{3}{5}$

$x = \frac{3\times5 + 3}{5}$

$x = \frac{18}{5}$

Therefore,  $\frac{18}{5}$ should be added to $\frac{-3}{5}$ to get 3.
