    Step-by-step explanation:

    The sum of three-fourths of a number

    Let the number be x

    3/4 of the number

    3/4 of x

    3/4 (x)

    3x/4

    The sum of 3x/4 and 1 is negative 5

    3x/4-1=-5

    Make 3x/4 the subject

    3x/4=-5+1

    3x/4=-4

    Cross multiply

    3x=-4 (4)

    3x=-16

    x=-16/3

    x=-5.333333
