Q. Some penguins were playing on the ice. 88 dove into the water. 55 of those penguins jumped back onto the ice.now there are 1313 on Thai r. How many penguins were on the ice to start?
  1. Subtract 88 Penguins: 88 penguins dove into the water, so we subtract 88 from the original number.
  2. Add 55 Penguins: 55 penguins jumped back onto the ice, so we add 55 to the remaining number on the ice.
  3. Find Original Number: Now there are 1313 penguins on the ice. We need to find the original number.\newlineLet's call the original number of penguins xx.\newlinex−8x - 8 (those that dove in) +5+ 5 (those that came back) =13= 13.
  4. Solve for x: Solve for x: x−8+5=13x - 8 + 5 = 13.\newlinex−3=13x - 3 = 13.
  5. Add 33 to Both Sides: Add 33 to both sides: x=13+3x = 13 + 3.\newlinex=16x = 16.
