Question

10 more than donnies height is 48

Answer 1

"10 more than Donnie's height is 48" means that when you add 10 to Donnie's height, the answer is 48 .

We don't know Donnie's height, so we'll assign a variable to it. We'll use h.

The equation would be h + 10 = 48.

Then, you would solve by subtracting 10 from both sides of the equal sign, and h = 38. So, Donnie's height is 38.
