Question

What do you add to 35 over 8 to make 6

Answer 1

You would add
`(13)/(8)` or 13/8 (fraction)

Explanation:

First we make an equation with the following evidence:

We know 35 over 8 is
`(35)/(8)`

And we know were trying to get 6

The unknown is the "add" which gives us X

Equation: x +
`(35)/(8)` = 6

When we solve the equation we get x = 13/8

How do we solve it?

Subtract 35/8 on both sides:

x + 35/8 -35/8 = 6 - 38/8

And leaves us with x = 6
