The giraffes at the Liberia zoo eat 75 pounds of food per day, and 52.5 pounds per day comes from acacia leaves. How much of their diet comes from other types of leaves?Julia, the zookeeper, used the equation 52.5 + x = 75 to find the answer. Which equation is an equivalent equation that can be used to solve the problem?
