Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Make an equation to represent the words

In an equation what number do you subtract from 59 to get 31?

59 - x = 31

Step 2:  Solve for x

59 - x - 59 = 31 - 59

-x / -1 = -28 / -1

x = 28

Answer:  x = 28

28 all you need to do in the future is make an equation and it will be easier for you !
