Question

Your school's football team scored 49 points. your team's score was 19 points more than the opponent's score s. write and solve an equation to find the opponent's score

Answer 1

The equation would be 49=19+x

49 is your team's score
19 is the difference between your team and the opponents
and X is the variable for the opponents score, which we are looking for.

Subtract 19 from 49 to leave x by itself, therefore having 30=x as your final answer
