Answer 1

The correct equation is x + 7 = 44. Another equation could be 44 - 7 = x.

Explanation:

x represents 37. You can find this by subtracting 7 from 44. Using this knowledge, you can write a new equation and find which equation is correct!

Answer 2

44-7=37 that is another way hopefully this helps :)
