32\text{ + x = 50}

This is the formula that represents how much money needs Alberto to buy a pair of shoes.

To solve this equation, first, subtract 32 to both sides of the equation:


32\text{ - 32 + x = 50 - 32}
x\text{ = 50 - 32}


x\text{ = 18}

Thus, he still needs to save $18 to buy the shoes.
