Question

What is the equation and solution for the sentence?

Answer 1

Answer:

Write the equation as n + 31 = 113 and subtract 31 from both sides. The answer is 82.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of a number and 31 would be 'n + 31'. The sum equaling 113 would be '= 113'.

You would get 'n' by subtracting 31 for each side.

$n+31 = 113\\n+31-31=113-31 \leftarrow \text{Subtraction Property of Equality} \\\boxed{n=82}$

The statement: "Write the equation as n + 31 = 113 and subtract 31 from both sides. The answer is 82." should be the correct answer.
