A number is increased by 1 2/5 , and the result is -2. Find the number.

The number is -3 2/5 or -17/5 or -3.4 ( all are correct but in different forms )

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 1 2/5 = -2

So to find x you need to subtract 1 2/5 form -2

So , -2 - 1 2/5

= -2 - 7/5

= -2 + -7/5

= -2/1 + -7/5

= -17/5 = -3 2/5
