Answer 1

B. Subtract 58 from both sides

x=35

Explanation:

We know the sum is 93. Therefore, we have to subtract 58 from 93 in order to find the missing number (x).

93 - 58 = 35

Answer 2

Subtract 58 from both sides

Explanation:

93 = x + 58

Subtract 58 from both sides

93- 58 = x+58-58

35 = x
