The other number is 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number be x
if one of the numbers is -14/5
The sum of two rational numbers is -2.
Here, we get the equation
x + (-14/5) = -2
x - 14/5 = -2
x = 14/5 - 2
x = 14 - 2 × 5 ÷ 5
x = 14 - 10 ÷ 5
x = 4/5
Thus, The other number is 4/5
FOR VERIFICATION ONLY:
x + (-14/5) = -2
4/5 + (-14/5) = -2
4/5 - 14/5 = -2
4 - 14/5 = -2
-10/5 = -2
-2 = -2
Hence, L.H.S = R.H.S
