Answer:

2,248=2,284-36b

Step-by-step explanation:

since the library acquired(added) 36 books the library now has a total of 2,284 books.

To find out how many books the library had before they added 36 books you need to set up a simple equation.

2,284-36=2248

since you now know that before summer the library had 2,248 books you would write an equation and when you solve it you should get 2,248. The equation should be 2,248=2,284-36b. b representing the total number of books that were added.

Hope this helped you!
