Type the integer that makes the following subtraction sentence true:

Question

− 17 = –18

Answer 1

To make the subtraction sentence true, we can isolate the variable by rewriting it. The equation you have is:

\[ x - 17 = -18 \]

To find \( x \), we can add 17 to both sides:

\[ x = -18 + 17 \] \[ x = -1 \]

So the integer that makes the subtraction sentence true is -1.
