Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-5/12-x=1

x=-5/12-1

x=-17/12

Answer 2

Answer:

the number that should be subtracted from -5/12 to get 1 is -17/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assumption,

Let the number that should be subtracted from -5/12 to get 1 be 'x'.

Given,

To get 1 an unknown number is being subtracted from -5/12.

To find,

The value of 'x'.

Calculation,

We try to change the given statement "the number 'x' that should be subtracted from -5/12 to get 1" into a mathematical equation.

⇒ (-5/12) - x = 1

We multiply the whole equation with -1

⇒ x + (5/12) = -1

Now we transpose +(5/12) from L.H.S to R.H.S. So it becomes -(5/12)

⇒ x = -1 - (5/12)

We take the L.C.M

⇒ x = (-12 - 5)/12

⇒ x = -17/12

Therefore, the number that should be subtracted from -5/12 to get 1 is -17/5.
