Answer 2

Hey there!

88 + 36 VS ? + 34

88 + 36 VS x + 34

88 + 36 = x + 34

124 = x + 34

NEW EQUATION:

124 = x + 34

x + 34 = 124

SUBTRACT 34 to BOTH SIDES

x + 34 - 34 = 124 - 34

SIMPLIFY IT!
x = 124 - 34

x = 90

Therefore, the mystery number/answer is: 90

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
