Answer:

[tex]x=\frac{1}{12}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be [tex]x[/tex].

The given equation then becomes;

[tex]\frac{5}{12} +x=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Group similar terms

[tex]x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{5}{12}[/tex]

Collect the LCM on the Right Hand Side.

[tex]x=\frac{6-5}{12}[/tex]

This implies that;

[tex]x=\frac{1}{12}[/tex]
