The product of two rational numbers is $$-7$$. If one of the numbers is $$-5$$, find the other. Let the other number be $$x$$
$$\implies (-5)(x)=-7\implies x=\dfrac{7}{5}$$
The product of two rational numbers is –7. If one of the number is –5, find the other?
Given, one number = – 5
Suppose, the other number be x.
Given, – 5x = – 7
⇒ `x = (-7)/(-5)`
⇒ `x = 7/5`
HEnce, the other number is `7/5`.
