Given the numerical statement.
32 - x is equal to 18
Determine what is the value of x + 4
Solution:
In order to determine the value of x + 4, solve first the value of x.
32 - x is equal to 18 can be represented as,
32 - x = 18
Transpose -x and 18 to their opposite sides, note that when transposing a number, the sign changes.
32 - 18 = x
x = 14
Now we can solve x + 4, by changing the value of x to 14.
= 14 + 4
= 18
Final answer:
18
