x=(-12+5) /8

x=-7/8

Answer 2

$\huge\tt\colorbox{gold}{Answer}$

Let the number to be added be x

$\large{- \frac{5}{8} + x = - \frac{3}{2}}$

$\large{x = - \frac{3}{2} + \frac{5}{8}}$

$\large{x = - \frac{12}{8} + \frac{5}{8}}$

$\large{x = \frac{ - 12 + 5}{8}}$

$\large\bold{x = - \frac{ 7}{8}}$
