Question

What should be added to -7/4 to get -2

Answer 1

`-(1)/(4)` or -0.25

Explanation:

he way to set this up in an equation is like this:

`- (7)/(4) +x= -2`

so what we have to do is add
`-(7)/(4)` to -2

`x=-2+(-(7)/(4))\\x=-(4)/(4) +(-(7)/(4))`

in result we get:
`-(1)/(4)` or -0.25

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

x = -1/4

Explanation:

-7/4 + x = -2

Add 7/4 to each side

-7/4 +7/4 + x = -2+7/4

x = -2 +7/4

Get a common denominator

x = -2*4/4 + 7/4

x = -8/4 + 7/4

x = -1/4
