Add 89 to both sides

Answer 1

Add 89 to both sides

Explanation:

This is because the goal is to isolate x, which means get x by itself. To do that, we need to get rid of the -89 on that side. We can get rid of it by using its inverse operation, addition, and adding 89 to both sides. Now, x = 91.
