Explanation:

Problem 4

Step1: Define the total and morning boxes

Let total boxes be \( 31 \), morning boxes be \( 12 \), and afternoon (after lunch) boxes be \( x \). The equation is \( 12 + x = 31 \).

Step2: Solve for \( x \)

Subtract \( 12 \) from both sides: \( x = 31 - 12 \).
\( x = 19 \).

Step1: Define initial, added, and final tents

Let initial tents be \( x \), added tents be \( 42 \), and final tents be \( 60 \). The equation is \( x + 42 = 60 \).

Step2: Solve for \( x \)

Subtract \( 42 \) from both sides: \( x = 60 - 42 \).
\( x = 18 \).

Answer:

19
