Hey there!

The unknown number will labeled as “p” until we find the actual answer

32 + p = 105

p + 32 = 105

SUBTRACT 32 to BOTH SIDES

p + 32 - 32 = 105 - 32

CANCEL out: 32 - 32 because that gives you 0

KEEP: 105 - 32 because it helps solve for the p-value (also known as the answer that is added to 32 to gives you 105)

p = 105 - 32

105 - 32 = p

p = 73

Therefore, your answer is: 73

Because 32 + 73 gives you 105

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
