n+(-5)= -7/12
n+(-5)= -7/12
n - 5 = -7 / 12
Multiply both sides with 12
12n - 60 = -7
12n = -7 + 60
12n = 53 Divide both sides with 12
n = 53 / 12
n+(-5)= -7/12
n = 5 - 7/12
n = 4 5/12
To solve the equation n + (-5) = -7/12, we need to isolate the variable n on one side.
Step 1: Simplify the equation
n + (-5) = -7/12 can be simplified as n - 5 = -7/12.
Step 2: Add 5 to both sides
By adding 5 to both sides of the equation, we get:
n - 5 + 5 = -7/12 + 5
n = (-7/12) + 5
Step 3: Add the fractions
To add (-7/12) and 5, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 12.
(-7/12) + 5 can be written as (-7/12) + (60/12) = 53/12.
Step 4: Simplify the fraction
The fraction 53/12 cannot be simplified further, so the final answer is:
n = 53/12.
