T+M=R for T

OpenStudy (ash2326):

@brittanyyyy20201 it's pretty easy. Can you subtract both sides by M?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Ok, I'll explain you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank youuu

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Suppose I have \[x+4=6\] I want to find x, Do you know what we need to do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subract 4 from both sides

OpenStudy (ash2326):

good, so what would you get for x ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (ash2326):

you know your problem T+M=R also works the same way, we don't know the values of M and R but the rules of algebra would remain the same. We'd subtract M from both sides. Would you try?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

confussed ??

OpenStudy (ash2326):

OK, I'll show you

OpenStudy (ash2326):

\[T+M=R\] Subtract both sides by M \[T+M-M=R-M\] \[T+\cancel M-\cancel M=R-M\] we get \[T+0=R-M\] or \[T=R-M\]
