Question

Solve for the unknown number in the equation ________ + 11 = 14 + 4.

Answer 1

7 + 11 = 14 + 4

Explanation:

======================================

We would first rewrite what's given as:

`x + 11 = 14 + 4`

Then, we would simplify the right side and then solve for 'x'. 'x' would be what would be in the blank.

======================================

`x + 11 = 14 + 4\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\\rightarrow 14 + 4 = 18\\\\x + 11 = 18\\\\x + 11 - 11 = 18 - 11\\\\\boxed{x = 7}`

7 would be the missing number in the blank.

======================================

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

7+11=14+4

Explanation:

Find what 14+4 is.

14+4=18.

Subtract 18 from 11, since both sides of the equation have to equal 18.

18-11=7
