Question

Wildlife reserve has 7 lion cubs born in the spring and now has 41 total lions. Write an equation to represent the situation.

Answer 1

(x + 7) = 41

Explanation:

Let the number of lions in the wildlife reserve = x

Since, 7 lion cubs were born, so the total number of lions in the wildlife reserve will be (x + 7)

Now total number of lions = 41

Therefore, equation representing this situation will be,

(x + 7) = 41
