Determine the missing value to complete this equation
6+10- = 6
The missing value in the equation is 10.
To determine the missing value in the equation 6 + 10 - = 6, we need to understand the basic rules of arithmetic.
First, let's simplify the equation and combine the numbers on the left side.
6 + 10 equals 16, so our equation becomes:
16 - = 6
Now, we need to subtract the missing value from 16 to equal 6. To do this, we can subtract 6 from both sides of the equation.
16 - 6 = 6
This simplifies to:
10 = 6
However, we can see that 10 is not equal to 6, so there is no value that can satisfy the equation. Therefore, the missing value to complete the equation does not exist.
To determine the missing value, we can rearrange the equation:
6 + 10 - X = 6
Now, let's isolate the variable X by subtracting 6 from both sides:
6 + 10 - X - 6 = 6 - 6
Simplifying further, we have:
10 - X = 0
To isolate X, we can subtract 10 from both sides:
10 - X - 10 = 0 - 10
-X = -10
Finally, multiplying both sides by -1 to solve for X:
X = 10
Therefore, the missing value to complete the equation is 10.
