Type the integer that makes the following subtraction sentence true:

Question

− –4 = 8

Answer 1

To find the integer that makes the subtraction sentence true, we can rewrite the equation:

Let \( x \) be the unknown integer. The equation can be set up as follows:

\[ x - 4 = 8 \]

Now, we can solve for \( x \) by adding 4 to both sides:

\[ x = 8 + 4 \] \[ x = 12 \]

So, the integer that makes the sentence true is \( 12 \).
