Answer:

5.5

Explanation:

to find additional value, subtract the known

[because 4.5 plus (+) a number (m) is equal to (=) 10, the number (m) must be equal to (=) 4.5 minus (-) 10.]

10 - 4.5 = 5.5

to find if this is correct, add it back

4.5 + 5.5 = 10

m = 5.5

hope this helps:)

Answer:

The first thing that we need to do is subtract 4.5 from both sides because that would removed the 4.5 from the left side and leave us with m by itself. So we get the following
m=5.5 and that is our solution.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions
