Solve the equation. Check your solution. 164=x-59
164= x-59 to solve for x we need to get rid of 59
Add 59 on both sides
x=223
x=223
To solve the equation 164 = x - 59, we want to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. Here's how we can do it step by step:
1. Start with the equation: 164 = x - 59
2. To eliminate the "subtract 59" term on the right side, we can add 59 to both sides of the equation:
164 + 59 = x - 59 + 59
Simplifying, we get: 223 = x
So, the solution to the equation is x = 223.
To check if this solution is correct, substitute the value of x back into the original equation and see if both sides are equal:
164 = x - 59
Plugging in x = 223:
164 = 223 - 59
164 = 164
Since both sides of the equation are equal, we can conclude that x = 223 is the correct solution.
