Answer 1

Dear Student,

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Let}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{other}\mathrm{number}=\mathrm{x} \\ \mathrm{Now},\mathrm{according}\mathrm{to}\mathrm{question}: \\ \mathrm{x}\times 12=-180 \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=-\frac{180}{12}=-15 \\ \mathrm{So},\mathrm{the}\mathrm{other}\mathrm{number}=-15 \end{gathered}$$
