Question

What value of x makes the equation true?

16 + (18 + 10) = (x + 18) +1

x =

Answer 1

`x = 25`

Explanation:

`16 + (18 + 10)=44`

`25+19=44`

Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\textsf{16 + (18 + 10) = (x + 18) + 1}`

`\textsf{16 + 18 + 10 = x + 18 + 1}`

`\textsf{16 + 18 + 10}`

`\textsf{34 + 10}`

`\boxed{\textsf{= \bf 44}}`

`\textsf{44 = x + 18 + 1}`

`\textsf{18 + 1}`

`\boxed{\textsf{= \bf 19}}`

`\textsf{44 = x + 19}`

`\textsf{x + 19 = 44}`

`\text{SUBTRACT 19 to BOTH SIDES}`

`\textsf{x + 19 - 19 = 44 - 19}`

`\text{CANCEL out: \textsf{19 - 19} because that gives you \textsf{0}}`

`\text{KEEP: \textsf{44 - 19} because that helps us solve for the \textsf{x-value}}`

`\textsf{x = 44 - 19}`

`\textsf{44 - 19 = \boxed{\textsf{\bf 25}}}`

`\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \huge \bf x = 25}}}\huge\checkmark`
