Question

1. solve the equation. show your work!

x + 19.25 = 35.68

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 19.25 from both sides

To solve for \( x \), we need to isolate it. We can do this by subtracting 19.25 from both sides of the equation \( x + 19.25 = 35.68 \).
\[
x + 19.25 - 19.25 = 35.68 - 19.25
\]

Step2: Simplify both sides

Simplifying the left side, \( x + 19.25 - 19.25 \) gives \( x \). Simplifying the right side, \( 35.68 - 19.25 = 16.43 \).
\[
x = 16.43
\]

Answer:

\( x = 16.43 \)
