Question
Write the given information as an equation and find its solution.
Haraba owns some sheep. After selling 34 of them in the market, he still has 176 sheep. How many sheep did Haraba have at first?
Solution
Let the number of sheep with Haraba at first be x.
According to the given condition,
Number of sheep with Haraba at first − Number of sheep sold in the market = Number of sheep left with Haraba
∴ x − 34 = 176
⇒ x − 34 + 34 = 176 + 34 (Add 34 to both sides)
⇒ x + 0 = 210
⇒ x = 210
Thus, there were 210 sheep with Haraba at first.
