Question

which of this numbers should go inside the box to make the equation true blank plus 4 over 2 equals 10

Answer 1

Given:

The expression is

`(\_\_\_+4)/(2)=10`

To find:

The number of the blank.

Solution:

Let x be the missing number for the blank. Then,

`(x+4)/(2)=10`

Multiply both sides by 2.

`x+4=20`

Subtract 4 from both sides.

`x=20-4`

`x=16`

Therefore, the missing number for the blank is 16.
