Math Problem Statement

Solve the equation x + 15 + 3 = 10 + 25.

Solution

The equation in the image appears to be:

x+15+3=10+25x + 15 + 3 = 10 + 25

Let’s simplify it step by step.

  1. Combine terms on each side of the equation: x+18=35x + 18 = 35

  2. Subtract 18 from both sides to solve for xx: x=3518x = 35 - 18

  3. Simplify the result: x=17x = 17

So, the solution is x=17x = 17.
