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

Hi Emmaelizabethmot286t

m - (-62) = 45 is the special equation so I'm a solve it and look for the same answer of the other options, so below is my work on how i got the answer of the special equation.

m + 62 = 45
m = 45 - 62
m = -17

The answer would be choice A) x + 25 = 8 and the x in that equation is -17 and -17 + 25 = 8 and that's true, and i figured out the answer by subtracting 25 from both sides and subtracting 8 - 25 so it can be -17.
