Answer:

44 boxes before delivery

Explanation:

There were several boxes in the storage room. Then 15 boxes were delivered to the storage room. Now there are 59 boxes in the storage room. How many boxes were in the storage room before the delivery?

x + 15 = 59

subtract 15 from both sides:

x + 15 - 15 = 59 - 15

x = 44
