(x+624)-276=357

To solve the equation \( (x + 624) - 276 = 357 \), follow these steps:

1. Simplify the left side: \[ x + 624 - 276 = 357 \]

2. Calculate \( 624 - 276 \): \[ 624 - 276 = 348 \] So, the equation now becomes: \[ x + 348 = 357 \]

3. Subtract 348 from both sides to solve for \( x \): \[ x = 357 - 348 \] \[ x = 9 \]

Thus, the solution is \( x = 9 \).
