Question

What should be added to (2a - 5m) to get (5a - 6m)​

Answer 1

Answer:-

-1m + 3a

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x,

2a-5m+x=5a-6m

2a-5a+x= -6m+5m

-3a+x= -1m

x= -1m+3a

Answer 2

ANSWER:

• The number which should be added to (2a-5m) to get (5a-6m) is (3a-m)

GIVEN:

• 1st number = (2a-5m)
• 2nd number = (5a-6m)

TO FIND:

• The number which should be added to (2a-5m) to get (5a-6m)

SOLUTION:

Let x be the number which should be added to (2a-5m) to get (5a-6m).

Now;

=> (2a-5m) + x = (5a-6m)

=> x = 5a-6m -(2a-5m)

=> x = 5a-6m -2a+5m

=> x = 3a -m

The number which should be added to (2a-5m) to get (5a-6m) is (3a-m)

NOTE:

• In any questions if it is asking what to add or subtract first let the number = 'x'
• Then simplify the equation and find the value of x .
• As it is done in the above case.
