Question

Which equation models this situation?25 more than a number is 32.A. × + 25 = 23B. × = 25 + 32C. × + 32 = 25D. × - 25 = 32

Answer 1

Let "x" represent the unknown number.

The wording "25 more than..." indicate that 25 is being added to that number, symbolically:

"x+25"

The wording "....is 32" indicates that the result of the operation is 32

So the equation that models the situation is:

`x+25=32`

The correct option is A.
