Question 11765: Trying to help my son with a part of math that I wasn't very good with would apreciate the help.
Q:What whole numbers can k and m be in the expression 30-(k+m) has a value of 25.
Can you please show us the proper solution.

You can start with the equation:
Add (k + m) to both sides.
Now subtract 25 from both sides.

What are the possiblities for k and m?
k = 0 & m = 5 or
k = 1 & m = 4 or
k = 2 & m = 3 or
k = 3 & m = 2 or
k = 4 & m = 1 or
k = 5 & m = 0
