Question

Type the integer that makes the following addition sentence true:

–17 +
= –19

Answer 1

To find the integer that makes the addition sentence true, we can set up the equation as follows:

\[
-17 + x = -19
\]

To solve for \(x\), we can add 17 to both sides of the equation:

\[
x = -19 + 17
\]

Calculating the right side gives:

\[
x = -2
\]

So, the integer that makes the addition sentence true is:

\[
\boxed{-2}
\]
