Identify Equation: Identify the correct equation that models the situation. Pam sold 18 mugs and has 24 left. The equation should represent the total mugs she had before selling any.
Solve Equation: Solve the equation m−18=24 to find the original number of mugs, m. Add 18 to both sides to isolate m.
