Question

What is the equation for the statement, 22 more than z is 71?

What is the value of z in the correct equation?

Answer 1

"22 more than" is just 
22+
"z" is
z
"is 71" is the same as
=71
put everything together to get
22+z=71
all you have to do to find z is subtract 22 from both sides to get:
z=49

Answer 2

The equation should be 22+z=71.
⇒ (22-22)+z=71-22
⇒ z= 49

Hope this would help~
