Respuesta :
The equation relates Alice’s and Martha's ages in years. Alice’s age (a) = Martha’s age (m) + 22 The blank spots on table are filled by 33-11 and 48-26.
What does it mean to solve an equation?
An equation represents the equality of two or more mathematical expressions.
When someone asks you to solve an equation, then they usually mean to find the values of the unknowns for which that equation would be true (the equality between expressions should hold true for those values).
Solutions to an equation are those values of the variables involved in that equation for which the equation is true.
The table shows Alice's age (a) and her daughter Martha's age (m).
In order to find the blank spots, we need to find the difference in the filled spots. We are trying to figure out the difference which is subtraction.
28 - 6 = 22
37 - 15 = 22
To find Martha's age when Alice was 33, we would subract 22.
33 - 22 = 11
similarly, when Alice was 48.
48 - 22 = 26
And the last equation is asking the difference between them, which is 22.
