​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number be x

Let the number be x25

Let the number be x25

Let the number be x25 x+ 3

Let the number be x25 x+ 32= 12−7

⇒ 25 x= 12−15

⇒ 25 x= 12−15⇒x=− 21

⇒ 25 x= 12−15⇒x=− 21

⇒ 25 x= 12−15⇒x=− 21 Rational number =− 21

⇒ 25 x= 12−15⇒x=− 21 Rational number =− 21

Answer 2

Answer:

-1/2 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

according to the question,

x×(5/2)+2/3=(-7/12)

5x/2=(-7/12)-(2/3)

5x/2=(-15/12)

x=(-15×2)/(12×5)

by simplifying you get,

x=-1/2
