Given the numerical sentence:
The sum of 12 and m is 23.
Representation:
The given numerical statement can be written as,
12 + m = 23
We use the operation of addition since we are asked for the sum of the two values, hence we can solve m if we transpose 12 on the other side of the equation. We must take note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
Solution:
12 + m = 23
m = 23 - 12
m = 11
FInal answer:
12 + m = 23
