Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To find the number that, when added to 552, equals 720, we can set up the equation:

$$
x + 552 = 720
$$

To solve for $$ x $$, we subtract 552 from both sides:

$$
x = 720 - 552
$$

Now, we perform the subtraction:

$$
720 - 552 = 168
$$

Thus, the number that needs to be added to 552 to get 720 is

$$
\boxed{168}
$$
The number is 168.

\( 1 \leftarrow \) What number added to 552 is \( 720 ? \)
