Answer:
The subtrahend is 18.
27-18 = 9
Explanation:
A subtraction number sentence is an equation that shows a number being subtracted from another number with a final answer. The first number in a subtraction number sentence is the minuend. The second number in a subtraction number sentence is the subtrahend. The answer to a subtraction problem is called the difference.
In the given example we have 27 as minuend and 9 as difference. We have to find subtrahend.
Let subtrahend be x.
Than the expression becomes:
27-x=9
Combine the like terms.
- x = 9-27
-x = -18
negative signs will be cancelled out by each other.
x= 18
Therefore the subtrahend is 18.
27-18 = 9 ....
