Step-by-step explanation

So two sisters bought books. One bought a total of 8 books and the other a total of x books. If together they bought 20 books then the sum of the amount of books bought by each sister must be equal to 20. Therefore the equation describing this situation is:


x+8=20Answer

Then the answer is the first option.
