What number should be added to 417 to get a sum of 4330?

Answer 1

Gabriel Agustin

See a solution process below:

First, let's call the number we are looking for: #n#

We can then write this problem as:

#417 + n = 4330#

Subtract #color(red)(417)# from each side of the equation to solve for #n# while keeping the equation balanced:

#417 - color(red)(417) + n = 4330 - color(red)(417)#

#0 + n = 3913#

#n = 3913#

We need to add #color(red)(3913)# to 417 to get a sum of 4330

#417 +3913= 4330#

You need to find 'the difference' between them.

This means subtract to find out what is 'missing'

#4330-417 = 3913#

Check:

#417 +3913 = 4330#

To find the number that should be added to 417 to get a sum of 4330, subtract 417 from 4330:

[ 4330 - 417 = 3913 ]

So, 3913 should be added to 417 to get a sum of 4330.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
