Given the equation:
. + 1687 – 1575 - 287 = 4808
Noticed that the equation has a missing number, therefore we can represent it as,
x + 1687 – 1575 - 287 = 4808
Solution:
In order to find the value of x, we simply need to combine like terms.
x + 1687 – 1575 - 287 = 4808
x - 175 = 4808
Transpose - 175 on the other side of the equation, note that when transposing a number, the sign always changes.
x = 4808 + 175
x = 4983
To check if the equation is true, substitute the given value of x in the equation.
4983 + 1687 – 1575 - 287 = 4808
4983 -175 = 4808
4808 = 4808
Final answer:
The missing number is 4983.
