Question

What value of x makes the equation true? 16 + (18 + 10) = (x + 18) +1 x =

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 25$

Step-by-step explanation:

$16 + (18 + 10)=44$

$25+19=44$

Answer 2

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\textsf{16 + (18 + 10) = (x + 18) + 1}$

$\textsf{16 + 18 + 10 = x + 18 + 1}$

$\textsf{16 + 18 + 10}$

$\textsf{34 + 10}$

$\boxed{\textsf{= \bf 44}}$

$\textsf{44 = x + 18 + 1}$

$\textsf{18 + 1}$

$\boxed{\textsf{= \bf 19}}$

$\textsf{44 = x + 19}$

$\textsf{x + 19 = 44}$

$\text{SUBTRACT 19 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\textsf{x + 19 - 19 = 44 - 19}$

$\text{CANCEL out: \textsf{19 - 19} because that gives you \textsf{0}}$

$\text{KEEP: \textsf{44 - 19} because that helps us solve for the \textsf{x-value}}$

$\textsf{x = 44 - 19}$

$\textsf{44 - 19 = \boxed{\textsf{\bf 25}}}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \huge \bf x = 25}}}\huge\checkmark$
