This set of problems is a little tricky. Think of it as solving for the missing variable. Let s take a look at a problem that we are familiar with. Let s say we have 5 x = 10. What would you do to solve for x? You might: Subtract 5 from both sides and then multiply by -1 to make x positive. 5-5 x = x = 5 (-1)(-x) = -1(5) x= -5 Or you might: Add x to both sides and subtract 10 from both sides. This would make x positive too. 5-x+x = 10 +x 5 = 10 + x 5-10 = x -5 = x This is exactly how the next set of problems is set up. So, we can create a rule based on this simple equation: Subtract the right side from the left side of the equation in order to find our answer. (See the video for a better explanation)

(2x 2 6x + 5) - (?) = x 2 +3x (y 3 7y +2) - (?) = 5y 3 + 4y 2-8y -2 (2x 2 6x + 5) p = x 2 + 3x + 1 both sides and then subtract (x 2 + 3x + 1) from (2x 2 6x + 5) (2x 2 6x + 5) (x 2 + 3x + 1) Rewrite as an addition (2x 2 6x + 5) + (-x 2-3x 1) F 2x 2 6x x 2 3x 1 x 2-9x + 4 Final Answer (y 3 7y + 2) p = 5y 3 + 4y 2 8y - 2 both sides and then subtract (5y 3 + 4y 2 8y - 2) from (y 3 7y + 2) (y 3 7y + 2) - (5y 3 + 4y 2 8y - 2) Rewrite as an addition (y 3 7y + 2) + (-5y 3-4y 2 + 8y + 2) y 3 + 0y 2 7y y 3-4y 2 + 8y + 2-4y 3 4y 2 + y + 4 Final Answer 2.

Then figure out what we need to add in order to equal the perimeter. This will tell us the missing side. Step 1: Add the 3 sides that you know. Step 2: Find the missing addend.
