QUESTION 3
Let’s play a game called target number. Here’s how it works. I give you a target number and starting number and you tell me what I need to get there.
For example, our target number is $20$20, and if I tell you the number $19$19 you would say $1$1, because $19+1=20$19+1=20.
Find the missing number below for our target number $20$20.
$18+\editable{}=20$18+=20
$13+\editable{}=20$13+=20
$20+\editable{}=20$20+=20
