The correct equation that models for this problem is x over y or x/y.
Let the following values be:

x - would be the money or commissions that Duncan earned.
y - would be the 20 percent that he gives his assistant

8 is the answer because when you add 11+4 you get 16 and then you would subtract that from 24 which would give you 8. Idk where you got "PA" ?

Directions: Solve these equations by using addition. You will need to use your fraction and decimal skills to solve these
Marina CMI [18]
One simple way to approach this is to subtract the number that DOESN’T have the variable with the solution by the sum.
Lets use problem 1 as the example:
1.) N+8=13
In this case, we subtract 13 by 8 and get 5, therefore N= 5.

2.) B+17=62
62-17= 45
B= 45

3.) X+5/6= 7/16
7/16-5/6= -19/48
X= -19/48

4.) y+1/7=5/8
5/8-1/7= 27/56
Y= 27/56

5.) 14+y=69
69-14=55
Y=55

6.) c+3.6=4.9
4.9-3.6=1.3
C= 1.3

Now for the word problems:
Lets use 7 as the example-
7.) a number increased by 19 is equal to 221.
Since we don’t know the number being increased by 19, that will be our variable. It will be re-written as so:

N + 19 = 221

Where N is the unknown number.

Using the same method of subtracting by the sum and the number that’s not the variable, we’ll get the solution to N
221-19= 202
N= 202

8.) N + 1 2/3 = 8
8 - 1 2/3 = 19/3= 6 1/3
N= 6 1/3

I really hope this helps
