: please help with this problem:
: 5.56 - q = 4.73
: using the inverse operation wouldn't I have to add but that doesn't give me the correct answer to this problem.
still perplexed that you need to go through all these contortions;
but if you wanna ADD, let's ADD:
add q: 5.56 = q + 4.73
add -4.73!: .83 = q
Secula et seculerum...gimme a shot of rum.....Amen....
