    -7

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To add a positive number and a negative number follow these steps.

    1. Ignore the signs and consider both numbers positive. You have 5 and 12.

    2. Subtract the smaller number from the larger number. If the numbers are equal, subtract one number from the other. In this case, you have 12 - 5 = 7.

    3. The sign of the answer is the same sign as the larger positive number's original sign. Here, the larger positive number is 12. 12 was originally - 12, a negative number, so the final answer is negative. (5) + (-12) = - 7

    Answer: - 7
