Shrek has 4 onions. He gave X away. he has 4 left. How many onions did Shrekgive away?
Let's turn this into an equation:
4 - x = 4
The x represents the amount he gave away.
If we take 4 away from both sides:
-x = 0
Therefore, by multiplication of both sides by -1:
x = 0
And so we have our answer, 0.
