Solve Equations Using the Subtraction and Addition Properties of Equality · Exercise 64

Baking Kelsey needs $\frac{2}{3}$ cup of sugar for the cookie recipe she wants to make. She only has $\frac{1}{4}$ cup of sugar and will borrow the rest from her neighbor. Let $s$ equal the amount of sugar she will borrow. Solve the equation $\frac{1}{4} + s = \frac{2}{3}$ to find the amount of sugar she should ask to borrow.
