Hi! Let me help you!

  • 21 more means we add 21.
  • Let's say Jenny's score is s.
  • Now, how can we translate the given sentence into an equation?
  • Add 21 to Jenny's score:
  • s+21
  • The sum is equal to 59.
  • Now, let's write the equation:
  • s+21=59
  • That's our answer.
  • P.S. Jenny, good luck!

Hope it helps!
