📝 Instructions
Remember: The unknown (x) represents a number that is zero or positive. It cannot be negative! Think about what makes sense in real life - you can't give away negative apples or remove negative toys.
Strategy: Use the inverse operation (addition) to check your answers. If 12 - x = 7, then 7 + x should equal 12.
