Question

To solve m + 9 = 45, should you add or subtract 9 from both sides of the equation

Answer 1

Answer:

subtract 9 from both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

m + 9 = 45 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

m = 36

Answer 2

Answer:

Subtract

Step-by-step explanation:

You should subtract since the equation says to add.

You basically do the opposite of what it says.

For example, if it was m - 9 = 45 you would add 9 on both sides, but in this case, you would subtract since its m + 9 = 45

m + 9 = 45

subtract nine by 9 and 45:

m = 36

36 + 9 = 45
