Question

Find the missing value​

Answer 1

-12

Explanation:

Let's replace that blank with x for now ;)

x - (-5) = -7

First, let's change that -(-5) to +5 because subtracting negatives is the same as adding.

x + 5 = -7

Subtract five from each side.

x + 5 = -7

-5 -5

x = -12

So then we change that x back to the blank and fill it in with -12.
