To solve the expression \( 5 + (-4 + (__) + 5) \), we can simplify it step by step.
Let's first simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
-
Combine the constants: \[ 5 - 4 + 5 = 1 + 5 = 6 \] So, the expression becomes: \[ 5 + 6 + __ \]
-
Now, simplify \( 5 + 6 \): \[ 5 + 6 = 11 \] So, the expression now reads: \[ 11 + __ \]
At this point, we can replace the blank with a variable \( x \): \[ 11 + x \]
To determine the value of \( x \), we would need either additional information or a specific condition to satisfy. If you provide a value or condition for \( x \), I can help you further.
