\(-\dfrac{7}{12}-\left(-\dfrac{1}{5}\right)=-\dfrac{7}{12}+\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{-7\times5+12}{60}=\dfrac{-35+12}{60}=-\dfrac{23}{60}\)
\(=-\dfrac{7}{12}+\dfrac{1}{5}=-\dfrac{35}{60}+\dfrac{12}{60}=-\dfrac{23}{60}\)
= \(\dfrac{-7}{12}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{5}\)
= \(\dfrac{-35}{60}\)+\(\dfrac{12}{60}\)
= \(\dfrac{-23}{60}\)
