a + 12 = -61
Subtract 12 from both sides: a = -73
B=61
You can't do that because 12 plus 60 plus 61 equals 173 unless yo take out the twelve but if you can only use the given variables then you cant do that
8x4+5x4 +9= 61
308
If: 7+3b = 61 Then: b = 18
B=61
You can't do that because 12 plus 60 plus 61 equals 173 unless yo take out the twelve but if you can only use the given variables then you cant do that
8x4+5x4 +9= 61
61
it equals 72. just do 12 X 6
308
If: 7+3b = 61 Then: b = 18
61+24=85
it equals 70
The Identity Property of Addition
12 plus 9 equals 21.
40 + 9 + 12 = 61
