Question

Bella received 534 texts last year. This was 211 more than her cousin Riley

received. Write an addition equation to find out how many texts Riley received.

Answer 1

534 = R + 211

Explanation:

So the amount of texts Riley received can be expressed as a variable, and in this case I'll use "R". So we know Bella received 534 texts. and that's 211 MORE than riley. So R+211 should be the as 534. This gives you the equation: 534 = R + 211. and if you want to solve for R, you can subtract 211 from both sides to solve for R
