Set up the equation: Set up the equation to solve for the box (◻).We have the equation (67)−(6◻)=(62). To find the value of the box, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
Add to both sides: Add (□/6) to both sides of the equation to move it to the right side.(7/6)−(□/6)+(□/6)=(2/6)+(□/6)This simplifies to:(7/6)=(2/6)+(□/6)
Combine like terms: Combine like terms on the right side of the equation.Since (62) and (6□) have the same denominator, we can combine them.(67)=(62)+(6□)(67)=(62+□)
Subtract to isolate: Subtract (62) from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with the box.(\frac{\(7\)}{\(6\)}) - (\frac{\(2\)}{\(6\)}) = (\frac{\(2\) + \boxempty}{\(6\)}) - (\frac{\(2\)}{\(6\)})\(\newlineThis simplifies to:(\frac{\(5\)}{\(6\)}) = (\frac{\boxempty}{\(6\)})
Multiply to solve: Multiply both sides of the equation by \(6 to solve for the box.6×(65)=6×(6□)This simplifies to:5=□
