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

Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. To do this, we will use inverse operations.

The inverse of subtracting 58 is adding 58, so we will add 58 to both sides of the equation:

114 + 58 = x - 58 + 58

This simplifies to:

172 = x

Therefore, the solution is x = 172.
