Question

On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers made the first flights in a power-driven airplane. Orville's flight covered 120 feet which was 732 feet shorter than Wilbur's. Write and solve a subtraction equation to find the length of Wilbur Wright's flight.

Answer 1

x=852

Explanation:

Based on the given conditions, formulate: x-732=120

Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation: x=120+732

Calculate the sum or difference: x=852

get the result: x=852

Answer: x=852
