Question

114 = x - 58 using inverse operations

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(114 = x - 58\) using inverse operations, we need to isolate \(x\). The inverse operation for subtraction is addition. Therefore, we will add \(58\) to both sides of the equation.

Here are the steps:

1. Start with the original equation:
\[
114 = x - 58
\]

2. Add \(58\) to both sides:
\[
114 + 58 = x - 58 + 58
\]

3. Simplify both sides:
\[
172 = x
\]

So, the solution is:
\[
x = 172
\]
