Question

what must be subtracted from 5432 to get 2496​

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 2936.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x.

So, according to the question,

the unknown number is subtracted from 5432 to give 2496.

So, equation can be

5432-x=2496

We know, when any term moves from one side of the equation to the other, it changes its sign i.e. if its sign is +ve it changes to -ve and vice-versa.

So, lets take 2496 to the left hand side and take x to the right hand side.

5432-2496=x

Now, simply subtract it.

2936=x

$\therefore x=2936$

So the missing number is 2936.
