The difference between two numbers is 7194. If the subtrahend is 12,806, find the minuend.
valentina_108 [34]

<u>Answer:</u> The minuend is 20000

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

To calculate the minuend, we use the equation:

\text{Subtrahend}=\text{Minuend-Difference}

We are given:

Difference between the two numbers = 7194

Subtraend = 12806

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Minuend}=12806+7194\\\\\text{Minuend}=20000

Hence, the minuend is 20000

Everywhere you see z, replace the letter with 18.

z/[(3- 2z)] + 4(z - 8)

18/[(3 - 2(18))] + 4(18 - 8)

You finish.
