Answer 2

Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Therefore,

-5/4 - x = -1

-x = -1 - (-5/4)

-x = -1/1 + 5/4

LCM of 1 and 4 is 4.

-1/1 = -4/4 , 5/4 = 5/4

-x = -4/4 + 5/4

-x = 1/4

We know that x cannot be -x therefore,

x = (-1/4)

Check:

-5/4 - (-1/4) = -1

-5/4 + 1/4 = -1

-4/4 = -1

-1/1 = -1

-1 = -1.

Therefore the answer is correct.
