First, you take the left side and solve for it. which if you put 100x23+34-97 it should equal 2,237. Then you take the right side and add it since those are the numers you are given and there is no other option than to add. So it would be 34+23 which shoukd give you 57. Lastly, you take the first answer you got and subtract it from 57. 2,237- 57 and that should give you your answer, 2,180,
