Let x represent the number of sheep that received their vaccinations.
The equation that represents the situation is:
86 - x = 57
To solve for x, we can subtract 57 from both sides of the equation:
86 - x - 57 = 57 - 57
29 - x = 0
Next, we can add x to both sides of the equation:
29 - x + x = 0 + x
29 = x
Therefore, x = 29.
So, 29 sheep received their vaccinations.
Select and solve the equation that represents the following real world situation. A herd of 86 sheep needed vaccinations. After some of the sheet received their vaccinations, there were fifty seven sheep that still needed to be vaccinated
