Given the equation:
58 + 15 = 60 + _
Determine the missing number.
Solution:
The missing number can be represented by x.
58 + 15 = 60 + x
Solve for x in order to determine the missing number. The first step is to combine similar terms then transpose 60 to the spotherr side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing numbers, the sign changes.
58 + 15 = 60 + x
73 = 60 + x
x = 73 - 60
x = 13
Final answer:
The missing number is 13
