Answer:
Anna's wand can cast 70 spells
Step-by-step explanation:
Elsa's wand can cast 53 spells
her wand casts 17 fewer cells than her sister Anna's
Amount of spells cast by Anna's wand = ?
We write the question down in the form of an equation
[tex]x - 17 = 53[/tex]
where [tex]x[/tex] is the amount of spells Anna's wand can cast.
we then proceed to solve by collecting like terms to different sides of the equation. We'll have
[tex]x = 53 + 17[/tex]
which leaves us with
[tex]x = 70[/tex]
This means that Anna's wand can cast 70 spells.
