Given the statement:
238 is the same as the total of 87 and t
Representation:
The statement can be written as,
87 + t = 238
We use the operation of addition since we are asked for the total, this means the sum or the combine value of the number 87 and the term t.
Hence, we can find t by transposing 87 on the other side of the equation. Note that when transposing a number, the sign changes.
t = 238 - 87
t = 151
Final answer:
87 + t = 238
