Question 1054774
he had 12 when he arrived at the store.
he spent 10 which left him with 2.
his dad gave him 5 which left him with 7.


if you let x equal the amount he had when he arrived at the store, you get x - 4 - 6 + 5 = 7


simplify to get x - 5 = 7


add 5 to both sides of this equation to get x = 12.


x represents the amount he had when he arrived at the craft store.
