Question

What should be subtracted from 43 to get 29?​

Answer 1

• We have to evaluate the above expression by using the given data.

         Given data:- $43-x=29.$

         To find:- Value of the expression.

         Solution:-

• Let assume x to find the missing term.

• Then the result will be the solution for the given linear equation.

• By using the transposition method.

       we get,

       $43-x=29\\=>-x=29-43\\=>-x=-14\\=>x=14$

      Hence we will get $43-14=29.$

Answer 2

Given: A number is subtracted from $43$to get$29$.​

We have to find a number.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

A number is subtracted from $43$to get$29$.​

Let assume the number be$x$.

Then from the given statement, we can write:

$=>43-x=29$

Solving the above further we get,

$=>43-x=29$

$=>-x=29-43\\=>-x=-14\\=>x=14$

Hence, if we subtract$14$ from$43$ we get the solution is$29$.
