Answer 2

Answer:

-31/24

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number to be subtracting be x

then, (-7/8)-x= 5/12

then if (-7/8) will go on the right side then its value would change.

so, 5/12+7/8=-x

lcm of 12 and 8 is actually 24

then, 10/24+21/24=-x

so, -x= 31/24

now transpose negative sign to right side.

so, x= -31/24

hence i prooved my answer as the best i could!!!

i hope you would get help from this!!!!!
