Question

An incomplete equation is shown.

579 – 265 = ____

Which related equation shows the solution?

A.
153,435 ÷ 579 = 265
B.
844 – 579 = 265
C.
579 × 265 = 153,435
D.
314 + 265 = 579

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 579 - 265 = \_\_\_\_\), we first need to calculate \( 579 - 265 \).

The calculation goes as follows:

\[
579 - 265 = 314
\]

Now, we need to find which of the given options shows a related equation that holds true.

A. \( 153,435 \div 579 = 265 \)
- This is false because \( 153,435 \div 579 \) does not equal \( 265 \).

B. \( 844 - 579 = 265 \)
- This is false because \( 844 - 579 = 265 \) is true, however, it does not directly relate to our initial equation.

C. \( 579 \times 265 = 153,435 \)
- This is true since multiplying these numbers results in \( 153,435 \). However, it is not a direct relationship to our original equation.

D. \( 314 + 265 = 579 \)
- This is true because adding \( 314 + 265 \) gives us back our original number \( 579 \), which is a direct relationship to the subtraction.

Thus, the equation that shows a related solution is:

**D. \( 314 + 265 = 579 \)**.
