Question

The product of (3-4) and is 25 what is in the blank

Answer 1

Answer: X=26
Explanation: This word problem translates to (3-4) + x = 25. The variable “x” is the unknown value.
1st.
Solve the numbers inside the parentheses. (3-4) which is going to then be -1 +x =25 since 3 minus 4 is -1.
2nd.
Add 1 to both sides of the equal sign. Adding a positive 1 to the negative 1 will cancel it out and leave you with x=25+1
3rd.
Add. 25+1 will give you the final answer of x=26.

Answer 2

x=26

Explanation:

1. (3-4) + x = 25

2. 3-4=-1

3. -1+x=25

4. -1+26=25

Let X represent the number we don't know, so X in this equation would equal 26 because -1+26=25 and 25 is the number we are trying to equal. I hope this helped. Let me know if I need to explain something else you don't understand in this equation, hope this helped! xx
