In order to find how many more cupcakes you need to make, subtract the number of cupcakes you have already made from the total number of cupcakes needed.
Let's denote the total number of cupcakes needed as "x".
The number of cupcakes you have already made is 11.
The equation becomes:
x - 11 = 18
To solve for "x", add 11 to both sides of the equation:
x = 18 + 11
x = 29
Therefore, you need to make 29 - 11 = 18 more cupcakes.
Nuh uh
To solve this problem, we can set up an equation. Let's say x represents the number of cupcakes you still need to make.
Given that you have already made 11 cupcakes, the equation would be:
11 + x = 18
Now, we can solve for x:
Subtract 11 from both sides of the equation:
x = 18 - 11
x = 7
Therefore, you still need to make 7 more cupcakes.
To solve this problem, you can set up a simple equation. Let's let x represent the number of cupcakes you still need to make.
The total number of cupcakes you need to make is given by 18, and the number of cupcakes you have already made is 11. So, the equation would be:
x + 11 = 18
To find the value of x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. To do that, we can subtract 11 from both sides:
x + 11 - 11 = 18 - 11
This simplifies to:
x = 7
Therefore, you still need to make 7 more cupcakes.
