Question

What number must be added to14,056 to get 32,713

Answer 1

18657

Explanation:

The best way to solve this is to put it in the form of an equation and have “x” represent the # we don’t know

14056 - x = 32713

And since we always want the variable “x” on it’s own we do the opposite of addition since 14056 is positive to get

X = 32713 - 14056

Then we get:

X = 18657

Answer 2

32,712-14,056 = 18,657
