Question

. Jada is collecting stickers. After getting 15 more stickers, she has 60 stickers in total. Select all the equations Jada can solve to find x, the number of stickers she started with.

Answer 1

`x + 15 = 60`

`x = 60 - 15`

Explanation:

Given

`Additional = 15`

`Total = 60`

Required

What equation can be used to select the initial number of stickers

Represent the initial number of stickers with x

The equation can then be written as:

`x + Additional = Total`

This gives:

`x + 15 = 60` ---- This is one equation

Make x the subject

`x = 60 - 15` --- This is another equation

Solving further for x

`x = 45`

This implies that she started with 45 stickers
