Question

How do you solve `25+10+(3+16)=(25+x)+3`?

Answer 1

x=26

Explanation:

First, combine like terms. Do the parentheses on the left first and ignore the parentheses on the right. After that, add the numbers together. You should get this:
`54=28+x`

Then, solve for x. x is equal to 26.

Finally, substitute for x to check your answer.
`25+10+(3+16)=(25+26)+3`
`54=54`

Yes, x is equal to 26
