5x/2 + 2/3 = -7/12
5x/2 = -7/12 - 2/3
5x/2 = (-7-8)/12
5x/2 = -15/12
x= -1/2
5x/2 = -7/12 - 2/3
5x/2 = (-7-8)/12
5x/2 = -15/12
x= -1/2

Answer:
Let x be the rational number.
5/2 × ( 3 / 3 = 7 / 12 )
5/2 * = 7 / 12 -1/3
5/2 = -7 - ( 2 - 4 ) / 12
5/2 × - 15 / 2
Multiplying both sides by ( 2/15 )
x = - 15 / 12 × 2 / 5 = - 1/2
.•. Rational number = - 1/2
