Student Question: Rewrite the following expression 100 - 34 = 66 using inverse operation.
What's given in the problem
- Subtraction equation: 100 - 34 = 66
What mathematical information needed to solve the equation?
- The inverse operation of subtraction is addition.
Step 1: Rewrite the equation by adding +34 to both sides of the equation
Equation: 100 - 34 = 66
100 - 34 +34 = 66 (add 34 on the left side of equation)
-34 + 34 = 0
100 = 66 + 34 (add 34 on the right side of equation)
Step 2: Simplify the equation:
100 = 66 + 34
Solution:
The rewritten equation using the inverse operation is 100 = 66 + 34
