the sum of three number is 1,295 two of the numbers are 37 and 25

Answer 1

For this problem, to find the third number we just need to subtract the first two numbers from the total. We can do this because we know 37 + 25 + x = 1295 where x is the third number. Using the inverse (opposite) operation (subtraction) we can solve for x.

Answer:

1295 - (37 + 25) = 1233

1295 - 37 - 25 = 1233

As we can see, both ways give us the same answer.

Hope this helps!
