1/5x + 3 = 10
Subtract by 3 on both sides.
1/5x = 7.
Now to isolate the variable, flip the coefficient in front of the variable and multiply both sides by it.
5(1/5x) = 7(5)
x = 7(5)
x = 35
Now to check:
1/5(35) + 3 = 10
35/5 + 3 = 10
35/5 is 7.
7 + 3 = 10
10 = 10

You need to save $30 and each person after 10 saves you $2 so 30/2=15
I really don’t know maybe you’ll have summer school that’s what we have to do if we fail an online course we have to go to summer school.
Hey there!
2/3 = a/30
First: you have to CROSS MULTIPLY the given numbers
2(30) = 3(a)
2(30) = 60
3(a) = 3a
New EQUATION: 3a = 60
Second: DIVIDE 3 to BOTH SIDES
3a/3 = 60/3
CANCEL out: 3/3 because that gives you 1
KEEP: 60/3 because that helps you solve for your a-value
60/3 = a
60/3 = 20
Therefore, your answer is: a = 20
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
