Let's solve each equation by finding the missing number. The general rule is:
> If:
A + ___ = B, then the missing number is:
B - A
We'll go row by row and fill in the blanks.

```
✔ All equations are now correct!

Summary:
To solve these problems, you simply subtract the known number from the total to find the missing addend.
For example:
If `x + 3 = 8`, then `x = 8 - 3 = 5`.
This method works for all addition equations of the form `A + x = B`.
