Answer:

It would be the second option I don't know why they made it so confusing looking but all you really had to do was subtract 159 by 53 then you get 106

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: 53+106 = 159  x=106 (the second answer choice)

Step-by-step explanation:

if x = 106

substitute

53 + x= 159 becomes  53 + 106 =159

check work

53+106 = 159

THE EQUATION IS CORRECT SO THEREFORE THE CORRECT ANSWER IS THE SECOND CHOICE
