Question

5-12 - _ + 5/4 = 2/3

Answer 1

Answer: -6 5/12 or -6.42

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, 5 -12 - + 5/4 = 2/3

Let the missing value be x

Then subtract 5 from 12

-7 - x + 5/4 = 2/3

Add 7 to both sides

= -7 - x + 5/4 +7 = 2/3 +7

+7 cancels -7 on the left hand side of the equation

= -x + 5/4 = 2/3 +7

Then, subtract 5/4 from both sides to get

-x = 2/3 - 5/4 +7

-x= 77/12

x = -6 5/12 or -6.42

I hope this helps

Answer 2

5-12-x+5/4=2/3
x= -77/12
