Question

your goal is to take 10,900 steps per day . According to your pedometer, you have walked 5839 steps. write and solve an equality to find the possible number of steps you can take to reach your goal

Answer 1

5061 steps

Explanation:

an equality: x + 5839 = 10900 where x is the number of steps to reach your goal

solving equality: x + 5839 = 10900

x = 10900 - 5839

= 5061

Answer 2

The number of steps you need to take to reach your goal is 5,061.

Explanation:

Let's start off with the equality equation

x + 5,839 = 10,900

Since 5,839 is being added to the variable, subtract 5,839 to isolate the variable.

To keep the equation balanced subtract 5,839 from both sides of the equation.

x + 5,839 = 10,900

- 5,839 - 5,839

----------------------------------

x + 0 = 5,061

x = 5,061
