Samantha donated 7 T-shirts to charity and has 14 left. Which equation could be used to find x, the number of T-shirts Samantha had originally?
x + 7 = 14
x + 14 = -7
x - 7 = -14
x - 14 = 7

is there any that you know you can eliminate?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
c
OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):
okay... any others?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
d
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes, that once can be eliminated because it ended as a negative. and so can d.
so, he gave away 7 from an unknown number.
x - 7
there are 14 left afterword
= 14
x - 7 = 17

thats not on there x-7= 17
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its probaly d idk
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or a
OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):
he meant x-7=14... but that's not an option... so you can use that to find the one that will give you the same answer.. make sense?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah so the answer is x-7 = -14
