Question

What is x?
i forgot what to do pls help me

Answer 1

x = 8

Explanation:

The tape diagram is basically saying that the value of 15 + x is the same size (or is equal to) 23.

so, you can make the following equation:

15 + x = 23

subtract 15 from both sides of the equation

15 + x - 15 = 23 - 15

x = 23 - 15

x = 8
