Answer 2

Answer:

1. x + 23 = 41

2. x = 18; solution is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We can translate the question into an equation. Because the question is asking to find a specific number we don't know the value of, let that unknown number be a variable; x. We know, from the information given in the question, that x added to 23 is equal to 41. When we're adding a number to another number, we use the + symbol. So far, we have x + 23. Now, the last part says "equals 41". We can imply when something equals another thing, we use the = sign. Then, we're left with the equation: x + 23 = 41.

To solve for this equation:

x + 23 = 41

Subtract 23 from both sides:

x + 23 - 23 = 41 - 23

x = 18

Therefore, our solution is 18.
