i need to find out what number is missing in this ecaucion (676+125)+?=676+(?+186)
let ? = x
work out the numbers in the brackets
801+x=676+(x+186)
factorise the right hand side
801+x=676x+125736
-801 from each side
x=676x+124935
-676x from each side
-675x=124935
Divide each side by -675
-675 cancels out
x=124935/-675 simplify fraction
x=\(-\frac{8329}{45}\)
676+125 + ? = 676 + ? + 186 Subtract 676 from both sides
125 + ? = 186 + ? ? cannot be the same number on both sides of the equation
and there are infinite answers if ? is diferent on both sides.
