Identify the missing addend in 3.58n+____= 0
Explain how you determined your answer.
You have to add two addends that are equal in size, but opposite in sign.
Example 2 + -2 = 0
x + - x = 0
Can you figure it out now?
Yes, so when i explain how i determine my answer i would say "the addend would have to be a negative of the positive addend to equal 0" right?
To identify the missing addend in the equation 3.58n + ____ = 0, we can start by rearranging the equation to isolate the missing addend.
First, let's understand the equation. The equation represents the sum of two terms: 3.58 multiplied by 'n' and the missing addend. When these two terms are added together, they should equal zero.
To find the missing addend, we need to cancel out the term with 'n'. We can do this by subtracting 3.58n from both sides of the equation. When we do that, we get:
3.58n + ____ - 3.58n = 0 - 3.58n
Simplifying this, we have:
____ = -3.58n
Therefore, the missing addend in the equation 3.58n + ____ = 0 is -3.58n.
We determined this answer by rearranging the equation to isolate the missing addend and cancel out the 'n' term by subtracting it from both sides of the equation.
