Question

Samina says,I have 8 books more than the books Jasmine has. Samina has 48 books.
Write in equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

x + 8 =48.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the books that jasmine had be x,

then since Samina says that she have 8 more than jasmine has, and since it is given that Samina has 48 books the equation can be written as

x + 8 = 48

Solving the above equation

x = 48 - 8

x  = 40

therefore it is clear that Jasmine has 40 books
