The missing number is -12. (-12-(-5)=-7.

Answer:

-12

Explanation:

When there are two minus signs, that means it turns into a plus sign. That makes the equation x+5=-7. To solve this, you have to subtract five from both sides to get x=-12. This means that the blank is equal to -12.

Hope this helps
