Solve;


\begin{gathered} (5)/(12)-x+(5)/(4)=(2)/(3) \\ Collect\text{ all like terms and you'll have,} \\ (5)/(12)+(5)/(4)-(2)/(3)=x \\ \text{Take the LCM of the fractions and you'll have} \\ (5)/(12)+(15)/(12)-(8)/(12)=x \\ (5+15-8)/(12)=x \\ (12)/(12)=x \\ x=1 \end{gathered}

The missing value represented by the question mark is 1
