The equation is m+ 3.75 =
4.15
Apply subtraction property of equality: Subtract 3.75 from each side.
\m +3.75
3.75 =
4.15
3.75
m+ 0 =
4.15
3.75 (Apply additive inverse property: 3.75
3.75 = 0)
m =
4.15
3.75 (Apply additive identity property: m + 0 = m)
m =
7.9 (Subtract:
9
16=
25)
Check:
\To check the solution, substitute m =
7.9 in original equation.
m+3.75 =
4.15
7.9+(3.75 ) =
4.15
7.9
3.75 =
9 (Product of two opposite signs is negative)
9 =
9 (Subtract :
7.9
3.75 =
9)
The statement is true.
\The value of m=
7.9
