In order to find a number that makes the equation 93 - something - 19 = 47​ true, we can proceed like this:

First, let's combine like terms on the left of the equation, that is the numbers 93 and 19, like this:

93 - something - 19 = 47​

93 - 19 - something = 47

74 - how much = 47

Now, we just have to subtract 74 on both sides of the equation:

74 - 74 -something = 47 - 74

Since we are subtracting 74 to 74 on the left, we get 0:

0 - something = -27

We can ignore the 0, then we get:

-something = -27

Similarly, let's add 27on both sides:

-something + 27= -27+ 27

-something + 27= 0

"something" represents a number, the one that we want to find, then we can add it on both sides, like this:

-something + something + 27= 0 + something

0 + 27 = 0 + something

27= something

something = 27

Then, the number that makes this equation true is 27
