Type the integer that makes the following addition sentence true:

–17 +
= –19

1 answer

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:

\[ \boxed{-2} \]
