Question

Find Ms. Buggie's mistake in the following problem. Then, give what the correct answer should be.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mrs. Buggie should have Subtracted 13 instead of adding 13

LKA = 94°

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets work backwards from the equation so far:

40 = x+ 13

x + 13 = 40

We should subtract 13 because we are adding a number and 13 to 40

Imagine this:

You have 5 apples, but you bought some more and now you have 10

equation would be:

5+x = 10

subtract 5 from 10 to get 5

So you bought 5 apples

Back to the Question:

40 - 13 = 27

3(27) + 13 = 81+13 = 94°

Answer = 94°
