You need to make 18 cupcakes for a birthday party. You have already made 11. How many more cupcakes do you need to make? Write an equation and solve.

12 more cupcakes
12 more cupcakes

8 more cupcakes
8 more cupcakes

7 more cupcakes
7 more cupcakes

11 more cupcakes

Let x represent the number of cupcakes you need to make.

The equation is: x = 18 - 11

Simplifying the equation, we get: x = 7

Therefore, you need to make 7 more cupcakes.
