pls answer this question
​

Answer 1

Answer:

-7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be n

By the problem,

n + -5/8 = -3/2

n = -3/2 - ( -5/8)

n = -3/2 + 5/8

n = -12 + 5 / 8

n = -7/8

Answer 2

$= \frac{( - 5)}{8} - \frac{( - 3)}{2} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = \frac{( - 5 \times 1) - ( - 3) \times 4}{8} \\ = \frac{ - 5 + 12}{8} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = \frac{7}{8} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:$

$hence \: \frac{7}{8} \: is \: added$
