Answer:

X = 97.45 - 42

Explanation:

If 42 + X = 97.45, X needs to be 97.45 - 42

you can do the same thing with smaller numbers, for example:

5 + X = 7

7 - 5= 2 and you can check for sure that this is the answer by adding them together 5 + 2= 7 so it's definitely the right answer

so for this question, 97.45- 42 = 55.45 so that's X

you can check that by 55.45 + 42 and if the answer is 97.45 that's the right answer!

I hope that makes sense
