Question

20 1/3 + x = -9 round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

I would think it's X= -29 1/3

Explanation:

You have 20 1/3 already, and to get to a negative when you have a positive number, to the positive you would need to add a larger negative. (If that makes any sense, it's hard to explain.) So you have to get rid of the 20 1/3 and you have to get to -9, so I would add a 9 to 20 1/3 to get 29 1/3, and make that number negative because then it will cancel the positive out. Making it -9.
