So represent missing number with x
x means unknown so
x+-1=+1
adding a negative means subtraction
x-1=1
you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
add 1 to both sides
x+1-1=1+1
x+0=2
x=2
the number is 2
The question was worded weird but if it’s asking for 1/4 divided by 8 then the answer is 2
It is the second answer:
8x²/y -2 is a solution which is equivalent to (8x²-2y)/2. Proof:
Reduce 8x²/y -2 to the same denominator:
8x²/y - 2y/y = (8x² - 2y)/y
the answer of this question is (-2,2)
I believe the answer is C
