Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Concept

• Algebra

Solution

Let us assume the unknown number as x

$\sf{ \implies\dfrac{-5}{12}-x=1}$

Take L.C.M

$\sf{ \implies\dfrac{-5-12x}{12}=1}$

Cross multiply

$\sf{ \implies \: -5-12x = 12} \\ \\ \sf{ \implies -12x= 12+5}$

$\sf{ \implies\: -12x= 17}\\ \\ \sf{ \implies \red{x =\dfrac{-17}{12}}}$

So -17/12 should be subtracted from -5/12 to get 1.
