Answer 2

Answer:

The number is equal to -60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

1/3 of x is decreased by 1/4 of x is equal to 5

So, the equation is :-

1/4 of x - 1/3 of x = 5

1/4 x - 1/3 x = 5

x/4 - x/3 = 5

LCM = 12

3x/12 - 4x/12 = 5

3x - 4x/12 = 5

3x - 4x = 5 x 12

-1 x = 60

x = 60/-1

x = -60
