Question

Which of the following equations has the same solution as m - (-62) = 45?

x + 25 = 8
25 - x = 8
120 - x = 13
120 + x = 13

Answer 1

m=45-62=-17

x=8-25=-17. its first option clearly

Answer 2

Step 1) Solve m - (-62) = 45.
Step A) m = 45 + (-62)
Step B) m = -17
Step 2) Place -17 as x in A, B, C, & D
Step A) -17 + 25 = 8
Step B) 25 - (-17) ≠ 8
Step C) 120 - (-17) ≠ 13
Step D) 12 + (-17) ≠ 13

The answer is A.
