Question

Solve for x: x - 35 = 45

A. 10
B. 15
C. 35
D. 80

Answer 1

The answer is D. 80.

A and B are incorrect because they're less than 35, meaning they'll give you a negative number, and the answer we're trying to get is positive.

C is incorrect because it's the same number as the one subtracting x, so you'd only get 0.

That leaves D, and if you do the math, 80 - 35 is 45.

Answer 2

X = 80

Explanation:

Add 35 To Both Sides

X - 35 + 35 = 45 + 35

Simplify

X = 80
