Question

What should be subtracted from 1/3, So as to get -5/12​

Answer 1

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no be x

According to the question

1/3-x=-5/12

-x=-5/12-1/3

-x=-(5/12+1/3)

x=(5+4)/12

x=9/12

x=3/4

Answer 2

Answer:

let x should be subtracted

therefore, 1/3-x=-5/12

1-3x/3=-5/12

1-3x=-5/12×3

1-3x=-5/4

-3x=-5/4-1

-3x=-5-4/4

-3x=-9/4

x=-9/4×1/-3

x=3/4
