A family gathered 20 small seashells from the beach bringing the total number of small seashells in their collection to 41.

Which equation can be used to find, x, the number of small seashells in the collection before the 20 were added?

options:

20/x = 41

x-21=41

x+20=41

20x=41

Respuesta :

7 in a half because your non
20x=41 because if you have 20 sea shells + (x) x is the ones that you are missing that add up to 41 and then you would make that all equal 41
20x=41 :)
