Question

Solve and explain answer : 11 = 12 -q

Answer 1

Answer:

q=1

Step-by-step explanation:

So if 11=12-q it's in the simplest form possible so just simply say what number when subtracted from 12 equals 11 and the awnser is q=1

Answer 2

Answer:

q = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking "12 minus what number is equal to 11?"

In order to find the answer, we need to isolate the variable-- get the variable to be the only value on one side of the equation. To do this, we cancel out any other value near the variable by using that value's inverse. You know inverses already-- multiplication and division are inverses, addition and subtraction are inverses.

So let's look at our equation:

11 = 12 - q

We need to get rid of the +12 on the right side of the equation. We can do that by subtracting 12 on both sides of the equation.

11 = 12 - q

-12 -12      

-1  =  -q

But the q is negative! We need it to be a positive value. So we just switch around the signs

-1 = -q    becomes   +1 = +q

And that's your answer :)!
