Question

1. What is the solution to 5 + t = 23 a. T=28 b. T=18 c. T= -18 d. T= -23 2. What is the value of b if -7 + b = -8 a. B=15 c. B=1 c. B= -1 d. B= -15

Answer 1

The answer to number one is 18 and the answer to number two is -1

Answer 2

Answer: 1.
`t=18`

2.
`b=-1`

Explanation:

1. The given equation:
`5 + t = 23`

To find t , we subtract 5 from both sides , we get

`t=23-5=18`

Hence, the solution of the equation is
`t=18`

2. The given equation:
`-7 + b = -8`

To find b , we add 7 on both the sides, we get

`b=-8+7=-(8-7)=-1`

Hence, the solution of the equation is
`b=-1`
