Question

Write and solve an equation. 1. A number t plus 32 is 652. A number b added to 13 is equal to 75.2

Answer 1

1)

A number plus 32 is 65 can be written as t+32=65; then,

`\begin{gathered} t+32=65 \\ \Rightarrow t+32-32=65-32=33 \\ \Rightarrow t=33 \end{gathered}`

The answer is t=33.

2)

A number b added to 13 is equal to 75.2 can be written as 13+b=75.2; therefore,

`\begin{gathered} 13+b=75.2 \\ \Rightarrow-13+13+b=-13+75.2=62.2 \\ \Rightarrow b=62.2 \end{gathered}`

The answer is b=62.2
