Question

write and solve a problem that fits the following equation
2x + 18 = 60

Answer 1

2x+18=60
-18 -18
2x = 42
÷2. ÷2
x= 21

Answer 2

Hi there, the opposite of addition is subtraction so we are gonna do -18 on both sides. 60-18=42. So, we have 2x=42. Divide 2 on both sides, 42 divided by 2 is 21. Therefore, x=21
