Question

what should be added to -2 to get 3/8​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the x should be added to -3/8 to get 5/12​.

ATQ

x -3/8 = 5/12

x = 5/12 + 3/8

x = (10+9)/24

x = 19/24

Answer 2

Answer:

$let \: the \: number \: be \: x \\ - 2 + x = \frac{3}{8} \\ x = \frac{3}{8} + 2 \\ x = \frac{3}{8} + \frac{16}{8} \\ x = \frac{19}{8}$
