Correct answer: B
Step-by-Step Solution
To find the value of the unknown (let's call it x), we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
State the equation: x + 3699 + 1985 - 2047 = 31111
Simplify the constants on the left side:
First, add 3699 and 1985: 3699 + 1985 = 5684
Now subtract 2047 from that result: 5684 - 2047 = 3637
The equation now looks like this: x + 3637 = 31111
Solve for x:
Subtract 3637 from both sides to isolate x: x = 31111 - 3637
x = 27474
