11 is correct
OpenStudy (torvela):

OpenStudy (torvela):
for the equation you will write the cost of the book plus the unknown information to get the total
OpenStudy (torvela):
so 12+x=23
OpenStudy (torvela):
and x=11
OpenStudy (torvela):
i think that's all right?
OpenStudy (torvela):
do you understand?
