It sounds like you’re describing an operation involving negative numbers on a circular number line (often referred to in the context of modular arithmetic). If you start at -7 and move 5 units to the left (in the negative direction) on a circle that wraps around after reaching a certain point, you would be looking to find the equivalent position.
Starting at -7:
- Moving 5 units left: \(-7 - 5 = -12\)
If you're considering a full circle, and assuming a range (like the standard -12 to 0 or -12 to 12), the result of -12 could wrap around to another equivalent position on that circle depending on the defined modulus. For example, if you're working within a modulus of 12, then -12 modulo 12 would be 0.
In conclusion:
- From -7, moving 5 units to the left results in -12.
- In a modular system with a modulus of 12, -12 would wrap around to 0.
