[tex]\textsf{16 + (18 + 10) = (x + 18) + 1}[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{16 + 18 + 10 = x + 18 + 1}[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{16 + 18 + 10}[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{34 + 10}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\textsf{= \bf 44}}[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{44 = x + 18 + 1}[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{18 + 1}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\textsf{= \bf 19}}[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{44 = x + 19}[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{x + 19 = 44}[/tex]
[tex]\text{SUBTRACT 19 to BOTH SIDES}[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{x + 19 - 19 = 44 - 19}[/tex]
[tex]\text{CANCEL out: \textsf{19 - 19} because that gives you \textsf{0}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{KEEP: \textsf{44 - 19} because that helps us solve for the \textsf{x-value}}[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{x = 44 - 19}[/tex]
