Question
What number should be subtracted from \[\frac{- 5}{3}\] to get\[\frac{5}{6}?\]
Sum
Solution
\[\text{Let x be subtracted .} \]
\[ \therefore \frac{- 5}{3} - x = \frac{5}{6}\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = \frac{- 5}{3} - \frac{5}{6}\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = \frac{- 10}{6} - \frac{5}{6}\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = \frac{- 10 - 5}{6} = \frac{- 15}{6} = \frac{- 5}{2}\]
