Answer:

x = 42 - 4

x = 38

Explanation:

Given that :

Initial number of plane models = x

Number of additional models built = 4

Total number of planes = 42

Total = initial amount + additional amount

42 = x + 4

Make x the subject

42 - 4 = x + 4 - 4

x = 42 - 4

X + 4 = 42

X = 42 - 4

X = 38
