Question

The average length of a King Cobra is 118 inches, which is 22 inches longer than the black mamba. Write and solve an addition equation to find the average length of the black mamba.

Answer 1

I think it would be:

22 + x = 118 for your equation.

And then to solve, it would be:

22 + x = 118
-22 -22

x = 96

Average length of black mamba = 96 inches

However it is late where I am so my bad if that’s not what you needed
