Your school's football team scored 49 points. Your team's scored 19 points more than the opponent's scores. Write and solve an equation to find the opponent's score

49 - 19 = S

How do you write this into an equation?

49 to 19

i don`t know how too do it can you solve it for me please step by step thanks

To find the opponent's score, we can set up an equation based on the information given. Let's call the opponent's score "x".

We know that the team's score is 19 points more than the opponent's score, so we can write this as:

team's score = opponent's score + 19

Since the team's score is given as 49 points, we can substitute this value into the equation:

49 = x + 19

Now, let's solve for x (opponent's score):

First, we subtract 19 from both sides of the equation:

49 - 19 = x + 19 - 19

This simplifies to:

30 = x

Therefore, the opponent's score is 30 points.
