Question

- 16 + 8 + 13  = 1001 - x + 1001

Answer 1

5=1001−𝑥+1001

5=2002−𝑥

5=−𝑥+2002

5−2002=−𝑥+2002−2002

−1997=−𝑥

𝑥=1997

Answer 2

\(-16+8+13=1001-x+1001\)

⇔\(5=2002-x\)

⇔\(x=1997\)

Answer 3

\(\text{- 16 + 8 + 13 = 1001 - x + 1001}\\ 5=1001-x+1001\\ 5=2002-x\\ 2002-x=5\\ x=2002-5\\ x=1997\)
