Can anyone explain it step by step to me!!?​

Answer 1

Answer:13/24

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the number : -3/24

According to the question ,

-3/24+x=5/12

X=5/12-(-3/24)

X=5/12+3/24

=10/24+3/24

=13/24

Answer 2

Given; that a rational number 5/12 is equal to the sum of two rational numbers. If one of them is (-3/24)

To Find; another number

Solution ;Let other number = x
