Question

Whats the missing varible for the following questions ​

Answer 1

Answers + Explanation:

1. x + 7 =10

if you know some number + 7 is 10, you know that number must be 3.

so, x = 3

the other way you can solve this would be:

x + 7 = 10

subtract 7 from both sides of the equation

x + 7 - 7 = 10 - 7

x = 3

2. Use the same strategy:

x - 8 = -5

add 8 to both sides of the equation

x - 8 + 8 = -5 + 8

x = 3

3. x + 3 = 6

subtract 3 from both sides of the equation

x + 3 - 3 = 6 - 3

x = 3

4. x + 6 = 3

subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

x + 6 - 6 = 3 - 6

x = -3
