Hi there!

Let's start by replacing "a number" by the letter "x" so that we can do an equation and isolate "x" to find your answer :

(x - \frac{3}{4}) + \frac{5}{4} = -7

subtract \frac{5}{4} on each side of the equation


x - \frac{3}{4} = -8.25

add \frac{3}{4} on each side of the equation

x = -7.5


-7.5 - 3/4 = -8.25

-8.25 + 5/4 = <u>-7</u>


So your answer is : Three-fourths was subtracted from -7.5, and then 5/4 was added to the result. The sum was -7.


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

I think the Honda and Dodge have the same ratio. If you do the math, the ratio will come out to (12,1) or 12 for both types of cars.
