Solve the equation 114=x−58 using inverse operations.

Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

Step 1: Add 58 to both sides of the equation

114 + 58 = x - 58 + 58

172 = x

Step 2: Check the solution by substituting x=172 back into the original equation.

114 = 172 - 58

114 = 114

The solution checks out. Therefore, x=172.
