Question

Which number belongs to the solution set of the equation below?

x - 8 = 36
A: 54
B: 28
C: 44
D: 38

Answer 1

The correct answer would be: C. 44
Explanation: If you're trying to find out x's value, you have to do the inverse operation which means if it's subtraction, you add. So to find x's value, you'd add 36 + 8 = x. And 36 + 8 = 44. So therefore, x = 44. That means the answer is C.
