Answer 1

For this case we have the following expression:
 $x - 15.99 = 58.06$
 To solve the expression, we must follow the following steps:
 We add 15.99 on both sides of the equation:
 $x - 15.99 + 15.99 = 58.06 + 15.99$
 We rewrite the left side of the equation:
 $x = 58.06 + 15.99$
 We add the right side of the equation:
 $x = 74.05$
