X-12,383=113,211

X-12,383+12,383=113,211+12,383

X=113,211+12,383

X=125,594

I hope this helped

125,594 miles. Canada coastline (x) - U.S. Coastline (12,383) = 113,211.
x - 12,383 = 113,211
x - 12,383 + 12,383 = 113,211 + 12,383 (by addition property of equality)
x = 113,211 + 12,383
x = 125,594
Basically, you add the two given numbers together.
