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?
✓

Answer

Let the number of sheep before selling be x.
∴ x – 34 = 176
∴ x – 34 + 34 = 176 + 34 ….(Adding 34 to both sides)
∴ x + 0 = 210
∴ x = 210
The number of sheep with Haraba before selling is 210.
