Determine the number that will correctly Balance each equation

18 + 32 = () + 3

Let 'x' represent the missing number.

18 + 32 = x + 3 Add 18 and 32

50 = x + 3 Subtract 3 from both sides

47 = x Switch the sides to make it easier to read

x = 47

Now, check your answer

18 + 32 = 47 + 3 Add on both sides

50 = 50

So, 18 + 32 = 47 + 3
