Solving an Equation for a Missing Value
In this video segment from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad must figure out the correct number code to unlock a machine. They have two numbers on one side, but are missing one of the numbers on the other side. The sum of the numbers must be equal on each side, so by subtracting the same number from each side they are able to determine the missing number. (1:33)
Squares
