Question

your goal is to take 10,900 steps per day . According to your pedometer, you have walked 5839 steps. write and solve an equality to find the possible number of steps you can take to reach your goal

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of steps you need to take to reach your goal is 5,061.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start off with the equality equation

x  + 5,839 = 10,900

Since 5,839 is being added to the variable, subtract 5,839 to isolate the variable.

To keep the equation balanced subtract 5,839 from both sides of the equation.

x + 5,839 = 10,900

 - 5,839     - 5,839                                              

----------------------------------                                        

x    +   0    =  5,061                                                                   

x  =  5,061

Glad to help ya!! ;)

Answer 2

Answer:

5061 steps

Step-by-step explanation:

an equality: x + 5839 = 10900 where x is the number of steps to reach your goal

solving equality: x + 5839 = 10900

x = 10900 - 5839

= 5061
