(16+____) +(14-7)=18+22
Ahh -- now you've posted the right question.
What do you think goes in that blank?
(16+____) +(14-7)=18+22
16+____+7=40
23+____=40
____=?
n-243593
To find the missing value in the expression (16+____) + (14-7) = 18 + 22, we can start by simplifying both sides of the equation.
On the left-hand side (LHS) of the equation, we have an addition operation within the parentheses. We can calculate the values within the parentheses before proceeding with the addition.
16 + ____ becomes 16 + x (where x is the missing value).
14 - 7 equals 7, so the left side of the equation simplifies to: (16 + x) + 7.
On the right-hand side (RHS) of the equation, we have two known values: 18 and 22. To solve this equation, we need to find the value of x that makes both sides equal.
Now we can form an equation using the simplified expressions:
(16 + x) + 7 = 18 + 22
We can solve this equation by performing the necessary operations to isolate the variable x.
First, we combine the constants on the right side:
(16 + x) + 7 = 40
Next, we simplify the expression on the left side by adding 16 and x:
16 + x + 7 = 40
Now, we combine the constants on the left side:
23 + x = 40
To isolate the variable x, we need to get rid of the constant 23. Since it is being added to x, we can subtract 23 from both sides of the equation:
23 + x - 23 = 40 - 23
This simplifies to:
x = 17
Therefore, the missing value in the expression (16+____) +(14-7) = 18+22 is 17.
