Type the integer that makes the following subtraction sentence true: –98 − = –21
The integer that makes the subtraction sentence true is 77.
-98 - 77 = -21
You start at (-5, -4). You move right 9 units and down 1 unit. Where do you end?
You end at the point (4, -5).
To find the missing integer, we need to determine the number we must subtract from -98 to get -21.
We can rearrange the subtraction sentence to solve for the missing number:
-98 - x = -21
To isolate the variable x, we can add 98 to both sides of the equation:
-98 + 98 - x = -21 + 98
Simplifying this equation gives us:
-x = 77
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by -1:
(-1)(-x) = (-1)(77)
x = -77
So, the missing integer is -77.
