$What \:should \:be\:subtracted\: from\: \frac{ - 5}{4} \: to\\get\: -1?$

$\huge\bf\underline{\underline{Solution:}}$

$Let\: x \:be\: subtracted \:from\: \frac{ - 5}{4}\: to\: get\: -1.$

$\frac{ - 5}{4} - x = - 1 \\ \\ \frac{ - 5}{4} + 1 = x \\ \\ x = \frac{ - 5 + 4}{4}$

$\boxed{\red{x = \frac{ - 1}{4}}}$
