Question

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

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

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

Answer 2

`417 +3913= 4330`

Explanation:

You need to find 'the difference' between them.

This means subtract to find out what is 'missing'

`4330-417 = 3913`

Check:

`417 +3913 = 4330`
