Question

what should be subtracted from -7/8 to get 5/12​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-31/24

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no. be x so,

-7/8-x=5/12

-x=5/12+7/8

-x=10+21/24

-x=31/24

x=-31/24

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the number subtracted from -7/8 be 'x'

therefore, -7 - x = 5

8 12

therefore, -7 - 5 = x

8 12

therefore, LCM = 24

therefore, -14-15 = x

24

therefore, -29 = x

24
