Chapter 1.3, Problem 39PPS

To determine

To calculate :  The value of x.

Answer to Problem 39PPS

x = 0

Explanation of Solution

Given information: 

Given that an equation is $3.2+x=3.2$ .

Formula used: 

Here we use Addition Property of Equality.

It says, ‘If two expressions are equal to each other and add/subtract by same number both side by same number, the resulting expression will also equivalent.’

Calculation: Here we are given

  $3.2+x=3.2$

Now use the Addition Property of Equality,

We will add both the side inverse of opposite of 3.2

  $\begin{array}{l}3.2+x-3.2=3.2-3.2\\ x=0\end{array}$
