A person’s maximum heart rate is the highest rate, in beats per minute, that the person’s heart should reach. A person’s age added to his or her maximum heart rate is 220. Write and solve an equation to find the maximum heart rate of a 16-year old.

16 + x = 220
x = 220 - 16
x = 204
x = 220 - 16
x = 204
