Answer 1

To make the expression \( m + [?] - 1.1 \) equivalent to \( m - 1.1 \), we can use the Identity Property of Addition, which states that adding zero to any number does not change its value.

Let's set up the equation:

\[ m + [?] - 1.1 = m - 1.1 \]

To isolate the bracketed term, we can rearrange it:

\[ m + [?] = m - 1.1 + 1.1 \]

Simplifying the right side:

\[ m + [?] = m \]

Now, subtract \( m \) from both sides:

\[ [?] = 0 \]

Therefore, the number that makes the expression equivalent is:
