Solution :-

➲ Given Information :-

• Subtrahend ➢ Let subtrahend be 'x'
• Minuend ➢ $\bf{(\dfrac{3}{5})}$
• Difference ➢ $\bf{(\dfrac{-12}{5})}$

➲ To Find :-

• Subtrahend

➲ Concept :-

• Simple Algebraic Calculations

➲ Formula Used :-

• $\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf{ \red{minuend }- \blue{subtrahend }= \green{difference}}}}$
• $\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf{ \red{minuend }-\green{difference }= \blue{subtrahend}}}}$

➲ Explanation :-

• We will simply substitute the given values in the formula. Since we need to find the subtrahend, We will make it as the subject of formula. Then, after some simple and minute calculations, We will get our answer i.e., subtrahend. So let's proceed towards our calculation.

➲ Calculation :-

Using the Formula,

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf{ \red{minuend }- \blue{subtrahend }= \green{difference}}}}$

Making Subtrahend the subject of the formula, We get,

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \rm{ \red{minuend }-\green{difference }= \blue{subtrahend}}}}$

Substituting the values given in the formula, We get,

$\rm : \implies{ \red{ \dfrac{3}{5} }-\green{ \dfrac{ - 12}{5} }= \blue{subtrahend \: (x)}}$

∵ The denominator of the fractions in Left Hand Side of the equation are equal,

$\rm : \implies{ \purple{ \dfrac{ 3 - ( - 12)}{5} }= \blue{subtrahend \: (x)}}$

We know minus multiplied with minus is plus, Thus,

$\rm : \implies{ \purple{ \dfrac{ 3 + 12}{5} }= \blue{subtrahend \: (x)}}$

Adding up all numerator, We get,

$\rm : \implies{ \purple{ \dfrac{ 15}{5} }= \blue{subtrahend \: (x)}}$

Cancelling & Calculating further, We get

$\rm : \implies{ \purple{ \dfrac{ \cancel{15} \: \: \: {}^{3} }{ \cancel{5} } }= \blue{subtrahend \: (x)}}$

$\therefore \: \boxed{\boxed{ \bf{ \purple3 = \blue{ subtrahend}}}}$

Answer 2

$\sf\huge\bold{Answer:}$

Given :

• Minued = 3/5
• Difference = -12/5

To find :

• Subtrahend[the number that should be subtracted from 3/5 to get -12/5]

Solution :

Let the subtrahend be x

$\boxed{ \tt\red{subtrahend = minued - difference}}$

$\tt \: :⟶x = \frac{3}{5} - \bigg( - \frac{12}{5} \bigg)$

$\tt \: :⟶x = \frac{3}{5} \cancel- \bigg( \cancel- \frac{12}{5} \bigg)$

$\tt \: :⟶x = \frac{3}{5} + \frac{12}{5}$

$\tt \: :⟶x = \frac{3 + 12}{5}$

$:⟶ \tt \: x = \frac{15}{5}$

$:⟶ \tt \: x = \cancel \frac{15}{5}$

$:⟶ \tt \: x = \frac{3}{1}$

$\tt \: :⟶x = 3$

Number that should be subtracted is x where,

$\huge\boxed{ \underline\purple{ x = 3}}$
