Answer:

Let the unknown value be = 'x'

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution-

$\frac{5}{8} + x = \frac{1}{24} \\ \\ = \frac{5 + 8x}{8} = \frac{1}{24} \\ \\ = cross \: mutiplication \\ \\ = 24(5 + 8x) = 8 \\ \\ = 120 + 192x = 8 \\ \\ = 192x = 8 - 120 \\ \\ = 192x = ( - 112) \\ \\ = x = \frac{ - 112}{192} \\ \\ = x = \frac{ - 14}{24} \\ \\ = x = \frac{ - 7}{12}$
