Tim is measuring the weight (in ounces) of a substance for a science experiment. Tim added a mystery substance (m) to his experiment. Tim used the equation 12.93 + m = 17.0 to find out how much he added. How much of the mystery substance (m) did Tim add to his experiment?

A 4.07 ounces4.07 ounces
B 4.97 ounces4.97 ounces
C 5.03 ounces5.03 ounces
D 5.17 ounces
To find out how much of the mystery substance (m) Tim added to his experiment, we need to solve the equation 12.93 + m = 17.0.
Subtracting 12.93 from both sides of the equation, we get:
m = 17.0 - 12.93
m = 4.07
Therefore, Tim added 4.07 ounces of the mystery substance (m) to his experiment.
The correct answer is: A 4.07 ounces.
To find out how much of the mystery substance (m) Tim added to his experiment, we need to solve the equation 12.93 + m = 17.0.
To isolate m, we can subtract 12.93 from both sides of the equation:
12.93 + m - 12.93 = 17.0 - 12.93
m = 17.0 - 12.93
Now we can calculate m:
m = 4.07
Therefore, Tim added 4.07 ounces of the mystery substance (m) to his experiment.
So the correct answer is option A: 4.07 ounces.
To find out how much of the mystery substance (m) Tim added to his experiment, we need to solve the equation 12.93 + m = 17.0.
To isolate the mystery substance (m) on one side of the equation, we need to get rid of the 12.93 on the left side. We can do this by subtracting 12.93 from both sides of the equation:
12.93 + m - 12.93 = 17.0 - 12.93
m = 4.07
Therefore, Tim added 4.07 ounces of the mystery substance (m) to his experiment.
The correct answer is A) 4.07 ounces.
