#1) Let n = the number
n/5 – 12 = -1, add 12 to both sides to get
n/5 = 11, now multiply by 5
n = 55
#2) let n = the number
-5 n – 2 = – 42, add 2 to both sides to get
– 5 n = – 40, now divide both sides by – 5
n = 8
that’s it!

Let x = a number
x/5 + 12 = 1
Solve for x yourself.
For number 2:
x(-5) – 2 = -42
Solve for x.
