The sum of two numbers is $\frac{-1}{3}$. If one of the numbers is $\frac{-12}{3}$, find the other.
Given:
The sum of two numbers is $\frac{-1}{3}$.
One of the numbers is $\frac{-12}{3}$.
To do:
We have to find the other number.
Solution:
Let the other number be $x$.
This implies,
$\frac{-12}{3}+x=\frac{-1}{3}$
$x=\frac{-1}{3}-(\frac{-12}{3})$
$x=\frac{-1+12}{3}$
$x=\frac{11}{3}$
Therefore, the other number is $\frac{11}{3}$.
