8+m=27
Hurry I need an answer!!!!

Answer 1

19

Explanation:

given that 8 + m = 27

we need to find m

we can do this by isolating the variable using inverse operations

8 + m = 27

we want to get rid of the 8 in 8 + m

The opposite of addition is subtraction

So we want to subtract by 8 but remember what ever we do to one side we want to do to the other side

So we subtract 8 from each side

8 - 8 cancels out

27 - 8 = 19

we're left with m = 19
