Question

To solve m + 9 = 45, should you add or subtract 9 from both sides of the equation

Answer 1

Subtract

Explanation:

You should subtract since the equation says to add.

You basically do the opposite of what it says.

For example, if it was m - 9 = 45 you would add 9 on both sides, but in this case, you would subtract since its m + 9 = 45

m + 9 = 45

subtract nine by 9 and 45:

m = 36

36 + 9 = 45

Answer 2

subtract 9 from both sides

Explanation:

m + 9 = 45 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

m = 36
