Question

48 - ( x + 161 ) = 66

Answer 1

48 - (х +161) = 66
Х + 161 = 48 - 66
Х + 161 = -18 />Х = -18-161
Х = - 179
——————-
48 - (-179 + 161) = 66
48 -(-18) = 66
48 + 18 = 66
66 = 66

Answer 2

Let's solve for x in the given equation:

48 - (x + 161) = 66

First, we need to simplify the left-hand side of the equation by distributing the negative sign:

48 - x - 161 = 66

Next, we combine like terms on the left-hand side of the equation:

• x - 113 = 66

Then, we add 113 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable:

• x = 66 + 113

Simplifying further:

• x = 179

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 179.
