Marla has three secret code cards. The first shows a 37. The second card has the first box blanked out, and the second box is a 2. The two code cards together equal the third card,which is 59. What is the missing number?. This is the word problem for 2nd grade math
59 - 37 = 22
Just add 37+2=39 and then subtract 39 from 59. =10
add 3yds, 16 inches,+ 6yds, 54 inches
Ms.Sue: don't understand question
JL:37-2=39,then-59=10
same as (37+-2=39)-59=10
59-37=22 22-2=20
To solve this word problem, we need to find the missing number in the second code card. Let's break it down step by step:
1. The first code card shows the number 37.
2. The second code card has the first box blanked out, and the second box shows the number 2.
3. The third code card is the sum of the first two code cards and is equal to 59.
Since the first code card shows 37 and the second code card shows the number 2, we need to figure out what number, when added to 2, will give us a total of 59.
To find the missing number, we can set up an equation:
2 + x = 59
To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable (x). To do that, we can subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:
2 + x - 2 = 59 - 2
Simplifying the equation further:
x = 57
Therefore, the missing number in the second code card is 57.
