Question

Xavier made 25 pounds of roasted almonds

for a fair. He has 3 pounds left at the end
of the fair. How many pounds of roasted
almonds did he sell at the fair?

Answer 1

Xavier sold 22 pounds of nuts at the fair.

We can use the equation 25-x=3

Subtracting 25 we get -x=-22

And we multiply both sides by -1 to get x=22.

Checking:

x+3=25

22+3=25

25=25

And so you know 22 is the right answer.

I hope this helps!
