Question

Which of the following equations has the same solution as m - (-62) = 45?

Answer 1

M=45-62=-17

x=8-25=-17. its first option clearly

Answer 2

Step 1) Solve m - (-62) = 45.
   Step A) m = 45 + (-62)
   Step B) m = -17
Step 2) Place -17 as x in A, B, C, & D
   Step A) -17 + 25 = 8
   Step B) 25 - (-17) ≠ 8
   Step C) 120 - (-17) ≠ 13
   Step D) 12 + (-17) ≠ 13

The answer is A.
