The sum.
In an addition sum, if the missing number is the first number, for example, x + 5 = 10, then to find x, perform the sum 10 - 5, producing the solution x = 5. In a subtraction sum, if the missing number is the second number, for example, 7 - y = 4, then to find y, perform the sum 7 - 4 = 3, production the solution y = 3.
In order to know which operation, you have to find the keywords. EX: how many more, difference, sum, total, etc.
An additive operation is an operation which produces the sum of two operands.
By adding.
To find the sum of 5 and 8, you add them together: 5 + 8 = 13. To divide this sum by 2, you perform the operation 13 ÷ 2 = 6.5. Therefore, the result of summing 5 and 8 and then dividing by 2 is 6.5.

The answer will depend on what operation you have in mind.
a sum
addition
43. A sum is a binary operation. You have a sum of two things. There is no sense in a sum of one thing.
The operation is called addition.
A sum is an operation involving two or more numbers. You cannot have a sum of a single number.
