Ricard lost 6 golf balls while playing yesterday. He bought a box of 12 golf balls ,then lost 4 on the course today . He now has 18 golf balls. How many golf balls did Ricard have to begin with? What is the first step to solving this problem ?

16, first you need to add on the four he lost to the 18 he ended with.
