Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 14

\displaystyle 13

\displaystyle 11

\displaystyle 12

\displaystyle 15

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 15

Explanation:

This question is asking what we take \displaystyle 13 away from to get \displaystyle 2.

We can add to find the missing number. 

\displaystyle \frac{\begin{array}[b]{r}13\\ +\ \ 2\end{array}}{ \ \ \ \space 15}

Example Question #141 : Working With Addition And Subtraction Equations

Fill in the blank. 

\displaystyle 7+__________\displaystyle =11

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 4

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 4

Explanation:

To find the missing piece of an addition problem, you can take the biggest number minus the smallest number. \displaystyle 11-7=4, which means \displaystyle 7+4=11.
