Question

User identity property to find the number that makes the expression m + {blank} - 1.1 equivalent to m - 1.1 A -1 B 0 C 1.1 D 1

Answer 1

To find the number that makes the expression \( m + \text{(blank)} - 1.1 \) equivalent to \( m - 1.1 \), we can set up the equation:

\[
m + \text{(blank)} - 1.1 = m - 1.1
\]

Next, we can subtract \( m \) from both sides:

\[
\text{(blank)} - 1.1 = -1.1
\]

Now, to isolate the blank, we add \( 1.1 \) to both sides:

\[
\text{(blank)} = -1.1 + 1.1
\]
\[
\text{(blank)} = 0
\]

Therefore, the number that makes the expression equivalent is \( 0 \).

Looking at the answer options:
A -1
B 0
C 1.1
D 1

The correct answer is **B 0**.
