Solve the equation (15+_)+29=15+(8+29) to find the missing value.
Simplify the right-hand side of the equation.
Calculate 8+29: 8+29=37. Now, the equation becomes (15+_)+29=15+37.
Simplify further.
Calculate 15+37: 15+37=52. Now, the equation becomes (15+_)+29=52.
Isolate the missing value.
Subtract 29 from both sides of the equation: (15+_)=52−29. This simplifies to (15+_)=23.
Solve for the missing value.
Subtract 15 from both sides: _=23−15. This gives _=8.
The missing value is 8.
The missing value is 8.
